All Hail the Tea Party

Via Jonathan Chait, our new overlords on climate science:

“This so-called climate science is just ridiculous,” said Kelly Khuri, founder of the Clark County Tea Party Patriots. “I think it’s all cyclical.”

“Carbon regulation, cap and trade, it’s all just a money-control avenue,” Ms. Khuri added. “Some people say I’m extreme, but they said the John Birch Society was extreme, too.”

It's going to be a long two years.

Well, you know, he helped Stalin beat the Nazis. And since Nazis hate Commies, he must be a Commie-lover.

That's why he put all the fluoride in our water. It was a secret plot to control our minds and make us vulnerable to takeover. Not at all the same as putting radioactive wastes in our water and air. That's for our own good.
