Thermology is medical imaging. So my body temperature causes it.

1. Most of the ass-backwards made up words/irrelevant words and shit in this law was edited. out.

2. The word "effect" fits there just fine, not sure why she corrected it. Its a less common use of the word as a verb that means "bring about".

3. This law, while edited now, is still a complete and utter disgrace. Its still politicizing a scientific study as a means of protest. Its nuts. Its unacceptable. Its thermological. I don't like it.

@givebirthathome Her point, which you apparently missed, is that astrology refers to the effect that the position on astronomical bodies has on human nature. It is astronomical factors that affect climate. These are people who purport to be representatives and leaders, not mere citizens, they should NOT be passing bills composed of bad grammar, made-up words, and mysticism. The "wealth" of the state is no excuse for stupid people to perpetuate the effect of their lack of education on our kids.

"As HL Mencken profoundly stated: 'As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

@david030491 Maddow is often wrong about science. In fact, astrological factors (in the sense of the position of the planets) do effect the ionosphere, which has been known since the beginning of radio.

I've also seen Maddow take a wrong position on fluoride---but hey, she disagrees with a Nobel prize winner in pharmacology, and the toxicologist who studied the neurotoxic effects in animals herself-- but, I guess I'll go with Maddow, that way I can fit in with whatever the crowd is mocking.

@givebirthathome It wasn't a bunch of 12 year olds who wrote the resolution, it was actual elected representatives of a state legislature, and when people in positions of power write something so obviously idiotic, it deserves mocking, not least to highlight the anti-science, anti-intellect mindset that is so prevalent in the GOP.

[givebirthathome]

Proportionality in the media, rather than a need to find targets to mock, would do our society a lot of good. I don't find it attractive that Maddow choose victims that pretty much can't fight back (citizens of a small, not particularly wealthy state), while using time to cover an insignificant story. All in all, this story was polarizing and thus negative, even for the cause of stopping climate change.

"Because we're having a hot HOROSCOPE?!" hahahahahahahaha.

SD one of the more dumber states in the Union in an already dumb country.
