Nitpicking alert!
While undeniably ridiculous, the guy is a bureaucrat, not politician.

Well, he's an anti-corruption campaigner, so he's sort of a politician-which makes me wonder if perhaps someone is paying him off to make the movement look stupid!

Sadly, Ted Stevens is far from alone in the category of technical stupidity. Most politicians are complete idiots when it comes to science, technology, engineering, and math. Majoring in political science means (1) lots of time to party and chase the opposite sex, and (2) never having to take another science or math course again.

I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

O'Donnell's only told half the story. She only mentioned the mice with fully functioning human brains.

This should be here!

When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous.

"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," he said.
