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!"

>>>I bet most of the kids in that class the other day knew she was completely ignorant about the ‘solar system’.<<<

She's also completely ignorant regarding the topic of slavery...

I love Dava Sobel’s work. I worked with a woman at MIT/LL who had met Dava Sobel. She had been in charge of the LINEAR program, that at one time had found about 90% of all near earth asteroids known. She had an asteroid named after her, not in some phony “book of records” but by the IAU. (I might add that she was the best groomed human being, the asteroid lady, not Dava Sobel, I have ever met.)

Lee said she was really just thinking about all those gassers the moon keeps shooting, and how they are what keep all those tides working properly.

Well, space is black, inside her head is dark, and she’s black.

Sheila Jackson Lee - yes, she belongs at Harvard. - it's a fit.
