More people telling the board what Jeezus wants. Why would you want science involved anyway? It's all 'climate change' this and 'pollution out of control' that and 'oil spills and coal aren't the best things in the world' kinds of things. Who wants to hear that all the time? Oil spills are great for reducing thermal breakdowns in wildlife. Change your penguin's oil every 3000 miles, people.
