Sen. James M. Inhofe, an the Oklahoma Republican who once compared the Environmental Protection Agency to the gestapo, is likely to lead the Environment and Public Works Committee when the GOP takes control of the Senate next year.

I tell them about my SUV and that between the two of us, we are carbon neutral.
So, if you are in NC and hear little explosions, it’s their heads.
Agree... Pres Reagan would say yes... LOL ... remember his quip about cow flatulence and adding methane to the atmosphere?
What do you call a moron who religiously believes in something that does not exist.
And Jim Inhofe will replace Barbara Lobotomy... that is sweet
Sweet!
“Physics is just applied math:”
True indeed.
And forever beyond the reach of most (if not all) MSM pundits.
Every single scientist who sold his soul for federal grants should have them taken away.
Start a real war.
If you want to really celebrate, someone has given us the green light to have fried chicken.
Wow this will be SWEEEEEET!!!!
Please pray for Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), he is suffering from cancer.
Yes yes yes! Just please don’t put McInsane on the ASC!
Inhofe is a good man and I owe a lot to him, for casually introducing me to many men, who became my customers.
He is the exact right person to lead Environment and Public Works Committee.
