  1. And as such, he will be presiding over meeting including people who believe thusly:

    “All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, the Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell.” – Paul Braun, Congressman from Georgia, sits on that committee.

    Can’t we just for once make some realistic Congressional Committee names? How about “House Committee on Mythology and Irrelevat Topics”… Or “The Committee on How to Steal Your Wealth and Give It To Mexican Drug Lords and Foreign Dictators”…or perhaps a “Committee on How to Bypass the Constitution”… Far more realistic and indicative of their actual functionality.
