Ah, the ever amusing Science Committee, which counts among its members the likes of
- *Todd Akin* - "If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” - *Paul Broun* - “All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell,” - *Roscoe Bartlett* - “There are very few pregnancies as a result of rape, fortunately, and incest — compared to the usual abortion, what is the percentage of abortions for rape? It is tiny. It is a tiny, tiny percentage.” - *Randy Neugebauer* - "join together in prayer to humbly seek fair weather conditions” after several destructive tornadoes and droughts. - *Dana Rohrabacher* - “We don’t know what those other cycles [of global warming] were caused by in the past. Could be dinosaur flatulence, you know, or who knows?” - *Jim Sensenbrenner* - railed against "scientific fascism" and called climate change research an "international conspiracy". - *Sandy Adams* - voted in favor of a bill to teach theories that contradict the theory of evolution. Rohrabacher and Sensenbrenner are now in the running to take the gavel of the Committee in the 113th Congress!
