Is it just me or does Texas have some of the dumbest SOBs in the country. And most of them are elected–not saying too much good about Texas voters huh?
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) is concerned about the plight of marathon runners under a cap-and-trade plan. Anal is as anal does!
Barton says the average healthy adult exhales between four-tenths of a ton and seven-tenths of a ton of CO2 a year.
“So if you put 20,000 marathoners into a confined area, you could consider that a single source of pollution, and you could regulate it,” Barton says. “The key would be whether the EPA said that 20,000 people running the same route was one source or not.”
One indication that the EPA likely would consider 20,000 runners a single source of pollution is that the agency is trying to regulate waste-water runoff and emissions of drilling rigs in oil fields by attempting to define entire areas as a single source of pollution, Barton says.
Repubs cannot move past the whole politics of fear thing. Just sad and pathetic.
Marathon’s are bad for the environment?
Wow this guy’s seriously talking out of his ass. (Hence the appropriateness of calling him anal)
Jenny I will be doing a mid year anal nominess list and would like for you to vote…the winner then will automatically go to the year end competition for the 09 Assie.
