Hoping that members of the House of Representatives will start using facts and coherent logic to advance the nation's interest is still a fool's errand, but there's one member of Congress, Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA), who's willing to at least pretend it's possible. Breaking out the teacher's most potent weapon, a red pen, he marked up Republican House members' letter to John Boehner forcing asking him to resist the immigration reform bill that has already passed America's slightly-less-insane upper chamber. Included in his comments are some words we haven't seen on a Congressional document in years, like "evidence," as well as an awesome invitation to "come by my office" if "you don't understand the bill."
Okay I cannot tell you how much this gives me the giggles.
Especially considering the incredible lack of intelligence demonstrated by the Republicans in Congress these days.
They don't understand the female reproductive system.
They don't understand science.
They don't understand math.
And now we know that they also do not understand how to express their thoughts on paper appropriately.
Color me unsurprised.
