Bill Nye "announces" presidential run with Neil deGrasse Tyson

Video from StarTalk radio show.

I'm down with it. I'd love to watch the fundies' heads explode. Two bipedal intelligent life forms, and one of them is BLAAACK!!!! The rightwingers actually think Neil didn't earn his Ph.D. They blame black people with doctorates on "affirmative action" like they didn't really earn them. Since when do they have the authority to judge his education? And I'm sure they think Bill Nye is annoying too.

KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM! <---rightwing heads exploding.
