My. To think, just a few years back, this kind of thing would have been immediately shouted down by the more politically savvy and sophisticated types on the right for being “unhelpful”, representing the very kind of kneejerk pushback against SCIENCE that alienates moderates and independents (who as we all know are the most wise and thoughtful among us), thus assuring the GOP its deserved place in the political wilderness,
