Jul 2014

talking about "our data and our constituents and stuff".

"...As you (Energy & Environment Cabinet official) sit there in your chair with your data, we sit up here in ours with our data and our constituents and stuff behind us. I don’t want to get into the debate about climate change, but I will simply point out that I think in academia we all agree that the temperature on Mars is exactly as it is here. Nobody will dispute that. Yet there are no coal mines on Mars. There are no factories on Mars that I’m aware of. ..."

What kind of academician (since that's what he's calling himself) talks about having his data and stuff? For that matter, what Senator talks about his stuff? What stuff? Did Einstein talk about his data and stuff? He sounds like he's in junior high.
