Steve King Lives in Landlocked Iowa
“The [budget cuts to] tsunami warning centers, it’s really — the timing of that really puts attention on the subject matter. I don’t know that I would go back and look at that… I think we often over-react to emergencies, especially natural disasters, before we assess the limit of the damage, and particularly with the nuclear part of this.” [ThinkProgress]
I thought he was from Iowa.
Either way… why so sensitive?
I’d rather get rid of corn subsidies because at least Tsunami warning centers don’t make people fat, lazy, stupid and give them diabeetus 2.
@ManchuCandidate: Fucking two-letter state abbreviations.
Since tsunamis will only effect left coast libruls and teh gheyz, why fund a warning system? He wants us all to die.
@Mistress Cynica: Ah, its just history repeating. After the preservation of slavery, the second reason the Republican States seceded in 1865 was “aids to navigation,” in other words, lighthouses. They were and always will be just stupid, mean, jealous, and petty, and have no problem with cutting off their nose to spite their face. They just hate sharing in paying for anything that benefits anyone except themselves, and they are too stupid, or ideologically blinded, to see that because we live in a complicated interdependant society, there are lots and lots of indirect benefits from things like, oh, lighthouses, that benefit you even if you live in Iowa.
@Prommie: We need more sailors.
BTW. Cyndi Jacobs reckons god smote Japan cuz it looks like a dragon and they’re all idolators and she say this from love.
@Benedick AEA, AFTRA, SAG, DG.: That’s always been my motto.
