...so i finally got around to checking out the results of the bi-election in America, because to be honest, i was scared...and i had a right to be. a Republican majority. again. i just dont get Americans, i really dont. AND IM AN AMERICAN. thankfully, i now live in Canada. Bill Maher summed up my feelings on at least one issue perfectly: On his HBO show Real Time this week, Bill Maher noted how the results of the 2014 Election was actually the “second most depressing story of the week.” The first was a press release put out by a U.N. panel of scientists that reaffirmed “human influence on the climate system is clear,” adding that we’re are looking at an “unprecedented” amount if carbon in the atmosphere – more than it has been in at least “800,000 years.” “So of course, what do the geniuses in America do?” Maher asked. “They elect a bunch of climate deniers.” Maher then showed a comparison of climate change-concerned candidates who were voted out and replaced by conservative climate change deniers, along with the pseudo-scientific statements that affirm their ignorance on the subject. “You have to be ashamed that these people are on your team,” Maher said, turning a conservative panelist on the show. “Please tell me, you’re ashamed these people are on your team.”
