Carbon Dioxide in the Membrane


On one hand, I'd like to congratulate Joe Barton for while saying something completely asinine, he at least said something original that nobody with any amount of sense would have even thought of. He didn't start talking about the marathon runners and knee-jerkoff himself into saying we should lower their taxes, or that terrorists will probably blow them all up unless we surrender all our civil rights and every penny to the Pentagon. So good for you, Smokey!

Ironically here, on the subject of marathons and CO2 and into global warming, would not the planet be better off if more of us WERE marathon runners? The better shape you're in, the less you exhale throughout any given day. A marathon runner theoretically would be recycling less CO2 back into the atmosphere than, say, someone like me, who gets up to top off his Diet Coke and spends 10 minutes huffing and puffing while blathering "this is the big one, 'lizabeth!!!"

I would guess 20,000 marathon runners in one place are in better shape and exhaling less than the 50,000 people who show up at Yankee Stadium every day to sit on their fat asses and drink $14 beers. So if Barton thinks the Marathon might be shut down due to regulation, he also thinks baseball should be shut down, which means he hates America and hopes all the troops die. 

Joe Barton: FOR the Terrorists? This makes me sad  :(
