In the wake of claiming the moon is made of gas and the sun is "almost" too hot to get close to, Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has been named the new head of Harvard University's Astronomy Department.
The Board of Overseers at the prestigious Ivy League institution was reportedly wowed by Jackson Lee's insights into the cosmos, with the school immediately seeking to get in touch with her about the department head position.
"Her knowledge blew us away," said Harvard Interim President Alan Garber. "When she said, 'The moon is made up of mostly gasses. That's why the question is why or how could we humans live on the moon' -- that's when we knew she was Harvard material."
While some have raised questions about Jackson Lee's qualifications to lead the school's Astronomy Department after her comments about the moon being comprised of gases, the board was willing to overlook any criticism. "It's not about qualifications here at Harvard," Garber said. "She hasn't been qualified to serve in Congress all these years, but she's done it. That says a lot about her ability to overcome adversity and general misunderstandings about basic elements. She literally watched a flag be planted on the moon, thinking it's being planted in gas - and yet, she got elected to Congress. What a leader!"

LOL. still one of the funniest things on the internet. "We don't anticipate that happening congressman"
Right up there with math is racist.
Good job, Bee.
Sheila was excited to accept the job...given that her Aunt Fanny was also an astrologer and it’s assumed such talent runs in the family.
So, why try? Black and female are the real qualifications.
p
She’s not wrong. If gases were solid she would be 100% right.
LOL- another gem by BB
Better watch it she’ll be heading over to Harvard looking for her office and money ,LOL
Did you hear the rot she was spouting off during the eclipse? Everything from the moon being a planet with mostly gasses, but the sun would be even more difficult to go too. So she would rather go to the moon.
AOC solved the problem of landing on the sun a long time ago. She said you just have to land at night.
she would be the perfect DEI (didn’t earn it) hire!
HA,OMG. Is that true? OMG.
Should have been Sunny Hostin for saying the eclipse was due to global warming.
Say what you will about Dava Sobel (I don’t know anything personal about her), but I know her book Galileo’s Daughter is some of the best historical writing around.
If somehow the moon became almost too close to the Sun it would become a gas.
I am almost positive that at some time in the past she was giving a speech and started talking about how we had landed on Mars.
Yale Matchbooks ?
halfa pack, wi a bad striker...
Correct. Space is cold, so the gasses that make up the moon are frozen. Can’t believe how dumb people are for not knowing this. Reminds me of this oldie but goodie:
