by NoahAnd do these rocks come from, the heads of Republicans?First of all, just look at this goon. Look at those eyes! By Republican "reasoning" such as the "reasoning" suggested by Rep. Mo Brooks (KKK-AL), one would also have to assume that fish being fruitful and multiplying and growing larger and larger would displace enough water to raise the levels of the seas. For instance, a 4400 pound Great White (Republicans love that name) was recently caught in the Mediterranean and sold in a fish market. In the Republican Hive Mind, that is, no doubt a good thing for the Italian city of Venice since less of the Mediterranean's waters will now be flowing into the Adriatic. And, growing fish and an ever-growing fish population maybe the reasons that Republicans come up with policies and strategies designed to kill all of the flora and fauna in the oceans. Is that, in their heads, their ingenious and diabolical way of trying to keep sea levels where they are?Thinking he has had a "eureka moment," Brooks cites erosion and rocks falling into the seas as the culprit in causing our rising seas, not man-induced climate change accelerating the melting of glaciers and ice caps. Archimedes he is not, and I don't even want to think of Mo Brooks playing in his tub with rubber duckies or whatever he plays with. In the non-Republican reality, however, science, yes the dreaded science, tells us that it would take the top 5 inches of all land surface of the United States falling into the oceans to raise the world's sea levels 3.3 millimeters in a year's time. Damn, there's that math thing again! Brooks has probably already asked one of his born again nutball staffers to calculate how much of a sea level rise there has been in the entire 6000 years of the existence of humankind, or mankind, as a Republican would say.Where will this Republican "reasoning" and "logic" end? Remember that goofball $enator who brought a snowball into U.S. Senate Show And Tell as "proof" that there's no global warming? Will some other wacko congresscretin now suggest that no one can go for a swim at the beach this summer, for fear of millions of people splashing in the world's waters raising sea levels? What will Chris Christie, especially Chris Christie, do?
