NOVEMBER 5, 2012

Climate deniers first refused to admit climate change was real by blaming environmentalists who they said just wanted to end capitalism.

OCTOBER 10, 2012

America's gonna need to ramp up the production of tin foil, according to a new study.

Life on Planet Romney

SEPTEMBER 10, 2012

One has to wonder what planet Mitt Romney is on when he says (as he did Sunday on Meet the Press): "I'm not in this race to slow the rise of the oceans or to heal the planet. I'm in this race to help the American people."
