Republican Jim Inhofe throws a snowball on senate floor
Sen. Jim Inhofe Throws Snowball on Senate Floor in Attempt to Debunk Climate Change - ABC News
Does this qualify as a looney of the week?

Looney of the century!

Re: Rep. Christy Perry (R-Nampa). of Idaho
Children do die, Perry said. I’m not trying to sound callous, but (reformers) want to act as if death is an anomaly. But it’s not it’s a way of life.
Someone get this guy a dictionary. The one thing death isn't is a way of life.

Yeah. We've had a lot of loonies this week, but he definitely makes it into the runoffs.

I would say not. It turns out that BS demonstrations with snowballs are more effective at convincing the base than are a thousand satellite photos of polar ice caps.

Ben Carson
And a very special effort from Ben Carson, talking about why those silly evolutionists are wrong about the evolution of the eye:
Give me a break. According to their scheme, boom!, it had to occur over night, it had to be there. I instead say, if you have an intelligent creator, what he does is give his creatures the ability to adapt to the environment so he doesn’t have to start over every fifty years creating all over again. And that’s why you see the changes that occur within species, with environment and with time.
Yes, instead of those godless evolutionary fables of instantaneous fiat creation, let's believe in the good old Biblical truth of gradual adaptation to the environment.
... wait. What?
Ben, Ben, Ben. I know that Darwin and God both have big white beards, but you should still try not to get them mixed up.

I served for 5 years in eastern North Dakota (the cold part of the state). When I tell people about "too cold to snow", they never believe me.
