During climate hearing, Markey asks if anti-science GOP will repeal gravity | Grist

Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to a bill that overturns the scientific finding that pollution is harming our people and our planet.

However, I won't physically rise, because I'm worried that Republicans will overturn the law of gravity, sending us floating about the room.

I won't call for the sunlight of additional hearings, for fear that Republicans might excommunicate the finding that the Earth revolves around the sun.

This quote is from Markey's partner in Cap n'Tax attempted crime, Congressman Henry Waxman.
From an interview on NPR (2009) as relayed by Tavis Smiley:

“We’re seeing the reality of a lot of the North Pole starting to evaporate, and we could get to a tipping point..... And if it gets to a point where it evaporates too much, there’s a lot of tundra that’s being held down by that ice cap.”


Sounds to me like Waxman already repealed gravity...
