Congressman Seeks Scientists' Personal Data
jfengel writes "The Washington Post reports that House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Barton (R-TX) has requested raw data and personal financial information on three scientists who published a paper which claimed that temperatures rose precipitously in the 20th century. Colleagues (including other Republicans) are calling the investigation 'misguided and illegitimate.' Barton has long been an opponent of government action on global warming."
I've never been so sorry to share this yahoo's last name. Not only that, but I live near his district in Texas. The next time someone asks me if I'm related to him, I won't say "No."
I'll say "Hell no."
Apparently the Republican party was in charge when Jesus was on earth because that was the same strategy the local political powers pursued against Him.
Yea, Like those Republicans who ban smoking everywhere, pass laws to prevent me from modifying my car, raise my taxes in order to alleviate health-care costs for illegal immigrants, and try to prevent me from buying firearms... Oh wait, those aren't Republicans.
Either you're too dense to see that both parties suck, or you're just another democratic undergrounder who smells an opportunity to chant the "I hate Republicans" mantra.
Either way you're too dumb to see the forest through the trees, and so are the mods who chant this tripe with you.
