Oh, be still my beating heart... Kris Kobach is tweeting again!

He's been kind of silent since losing the Kansas republican nomination for senator (two years after losing the KS governorship). I guess he's trying to jump back into the national dialogue and tweeted this about Biden.

It's ironic that he's getting burned by people who think it's a gas to rake him over the coals about his ignorance of oil-heated homes. HEY-OHHHHH!

He ought to not broadcast his ignorance in a national feed.

we used fuel oil to heat the house in the winter.

I was small so I don't know how many gallons we used per winter, but I remember the truck that would come to fill our underground tank in the fall... and sometimes again in the early spring. And how my dad would curse about the bill.

But it's not as much fun as doing large groups of people.

You'd think someone from Kansas would know that.
