Republican Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe has long been a global-warming denier, going as far as to say it's "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people."
Back in February of 2010, when this nation's capital fell victim to record snowfall, Senator Inhofe built an igloo outside the Capitol with his kids, where he planted a sign that read, "Al Gore's Home. Honk If You Like Global Warming." Yes, he did this in the middle of winter following a massive snowstorm. I never said the guy was bright. While he's at it, he should hold up a sign during the summer when record highs are recorded, which reads, "Ice Age? What Ice Age? There Was No Fricking Ice Age!"
Inhofe is now front and center once again with regard to the global-warming debate (debate among conspiracists anyway), as he's one of the central targets of a new climate-change documentary entitled, "Greedy Lying B*stards."
After hearing this bit of news, Inhofe responded with, "I was not surprised to see myself front and center on the promotional material for this climate change movie, and quite frankly, I'm proud of it."
In light of this story, I envision the following scenario years ago when Inhofe was just a child:
James Inhofe: ::gets off the school bus (the shortest bus imaginable) and runs in the house and over to his mother:: "Mom, guess what?"
James' mother: "What, honey?"
James: "Look!" ::hands his math test score to her, wearing a big smile on his face as he does so::
Mother: "Wow...would you look at that? Wait... Is that right? You got a, what is that? I need my glasses... Is that a 10% or 100%?"
James: "10%! Aren't you proud, mom?"
Mother: "Uh, yeah... Of course, sweetie..."
James: "Me too! I was the only one in the class that got this grade! Aren't I special?"
Mother: "Yes, I'm beginning to think you are. I may need to talk to your father about that..."
James: "Thanks, mom! I'm going to go celebrate by counting to 10 - the number of my test score! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..."
Mother: "What comes after 6?"
James: "9?"
Mother: "Oh, lord... No, honey. 7 comes after 6, remember?"
James: "Oh... Okay!"
Mother: "You better work on that before you start applying to colleges in the next few months."
James: "Okay, mom! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10! Woo-hoo! Go me! I am the greatest!"
Mother: "You forgot..."
James: "I forgot what, mom?"
Mother: "Oh, nothing. Good job. I better go talk to your father. Why don't you count to 10 again, but let's include the 8 this time."
James: "I ate something? I didn't eat anything, mom. It's not dinner yet. You're funny, mom."
Mother: "Yes, you are too. Oh, God, help me..."
James: "Help you what, mom?"
Mother: "Oh nothing... Amen."
