I sincerely hope for her sake that this was a satire article.

Completely agree. Soccer is more boring than baseball, somehow.

Soccer... the only sport where a 30 second ESPN segment tells you all you need to know...

"They ran one way, they ran the other way, for 73 minutes! GOAALLLLLL! They ran one way, they ran the other way... for 17 (maybe 19 or 22) more minutes! Moving on to our next segment"

Better than basketball, where the first 80 percent of the game is meaningless scoring.

In a condemnatory speech last week against the Obama administration’s new Environmental Protection Agency carbon emission regulations, Kentucky state Sen. Brandon Smith (R) claimed that man-made climate change is scientifically implausible because Mars and Earth share “exactly” the same temperature.

Smith, the owner of a mining company called Mohawk Energy, argued that despite the fact that the red planet doesn’t have any coal mines, Mars and Earth share a temperature. Therefore, Smith reasoned, coal companies on Earth should be exempt from emission regulations.

During a Natural Resources and Environment Committee meeting Thursday, Smith, the Senate majority whip, said:

"As you [Energy & Environment Cabinet official] sit there in your chair with your data, we sit up here in ours with our data and our constituents and stuff behind us. I won’t get into the debate about climate change but I’ll simply point out that I think in academia we all agree that the temperature on Mars is exactly as it is here. Nobody will dispute that. Yet there are no coal mines on Mars. There’s no factories on Mars that I’m aware of."

According to NASA, the average temperature on Earth is 57 degrees Fahrenheit -- 138 degrees above Mars' average of -81 degrees.

It should be against the law to vote on things in Congress to which you would have a conflicting interest in.

But that would require Congress to pass such a law so it continues to be a pipe dream.

I do like where his line of thinking is going though.

"I couldn't possibly be the one that held up that gas station; the average temperature in my home and the average temperature in that gas station are exactly the same. Try and explain that."

I couldn't agree more. Across the board.

I'm surprised he didn't credit God for life being here and not on Mars....
