House Science Committee Questions Existence of Meteors

[Tiberius]

...this should go in humor. Especially as the Republican being ridiculed in this parody said that the meteor strike in Russia was a "stark reminder of the need to invest in space science."

It's fine to make fun of people, but it just looks stupid when the person you are making fun of has the complete opposite views in this situation.

I know they are allies of yours, Tibby.

You know full well that they aren't allies of mine. I just don't understand why Borrowitz made this kind of parody. Democrats and other science-minded people have been wanting the Republicans on the Science Committee to start supporting actual science for years, and when they finally release statements which seem to indicate they understand at least one important aspect of science research, they go and make a parody which isn't even remotely accurate.

Parodies work when you take a small aspect that is accurate, and then blow it up and exaggerate it to comic effect. In this case, I can't see what the element of truth in this parody is. It would be like Obama throwing his support behind same-sex marriage and then a right-wing blogger writing a parody where Obama wants to investigate if homosexuality even exists.

Who needs parodies to ridicule members of congress when we have Hank Johnson?

You. Start contributing something other than self promotion or a mod slap is incoming.

We're a discussion forum, not Reddit.

And even if we were Reddit, your presence is so unestablished it'd be downvoted into oblivion.

It's clear he doesn't know he shouldn't post those things in a room full of mods because he isn't here enough to know who you are

Dumbass.
