Rick Perry shocker
 
"“I believe the climate is changing,” he said. “I believe some of it is naturally occurring, but some of it is also caused by man-made activity. The question is: How do we address it in a thoughtful way that doesn’t compromise economic growth, the affordability of energy or American jobs?”
 
I hope he means that and understands.
 
The funny part is the whole doing away with the Department of Energy thing.
 
Most scientists will tell you when there is a huge volcanic eruption, the particulate spewed into the atmosphere will affect the climate.
We know mankind is spewing millions of tons of particulate into the atmosphere, so why wouldn't that effect the climate?
 
Another way to look at it is you had 97 doctors telling you that you had a life threatening condition. They tell you that if you begin procedures now we could save your life, but it will be painful and costly. Then you had 3 doctors say we know something is going on but we're not sure what it is so we recommend doing nothing.

Yep, now that he has a position , I am sure he will no longer want to do away with this department. Interesting to note the majority of this department's budget is spent to maintain the nuclear arsenal.
 
Previously the last two heads of this department were nuclear physicists , as I understand.

He didn't even know he had to work with nukes. He just heard about that the other day.
 
These picks are worse than my last fantasy football team lol

Well he does have those glasses now so he looks smarter, and he now knows the name of the department, so there's that.

Guys with glasses are always smarter. Whose the dufus in the middle?
 
And Perry is great, really really great, for soundbites.
 
"Asked by Mr. Franken, who had earlier pushed him sharply on nuclear weapons and climate change in his Senate office, “Did you enjoy meeting me?” Mr. Perry responded, “I hope you are as much fun on the dais as you were on your couch,” before adding, “May I rephrase that, sir?”
 
“Please. Please,” Mr. Franken replied. “Oh, my Lord. Oh, my Lord.”
 
“Well, I think we’ve found our ‘Saturday Night Live’ sound bite,” Mr. Perry said."

is it funny or sad that he has confessed that during his entire tenure as Governor of Texas (15 years) - he never knew what the department of energy did...
 
"In fact, after being briefed on so many of the vital functions of the Department of Energy, I regret recommending its elimination."
 
Shouldn't our Governor understand the functions of the various departments of federal government in order to better serve his state?

Well now he's serving all of us. You can put Devos in the same uninformed boat. I see a guns for Grizzlies skit in the future.
 
Here is what is also worrying. If reports are to be believed Trump has let all most all of the Nat Sec personnel go. I understand wanting to bring in your own people, but you can't have Nat Sec with no one there for six months.
 
This action is unprecedented for obvious reasons.

pRick Perry is like a lot of these other politicians/pundits/radio talk-show hosts...They like to criticize everything but have no clue as to what is actually going on inside those realms... And thus can't offer any serious solutions to any of their perceived "problems"....
 
Same with Trump...He's a walking pundit(OK, maybe he's a tweeting one too)...Often sounds like one of the radio people...

I wish Trump would reconsider and keep more people in Nat Sec positions until he had replacements.
 
Well now they have to run these various departments and functions, I'm praying a lot lately for me and you.( Mostly just me)
