Gee, what better person to put in charge of Science than a religious, nut case, teabagger who is &#8216;skeptical of the scientific theory&#8217; of global warming, this despite a consensus of 97% of climate scientists that climate change is happening. With a man like Cruz, who barely believes in gravity, you can kiss NASA goodbye, even though he claims he&#8217;ll increase funding for NASA. Maybe he&#8217;ll put creationist, Ken Ham, in charge of NASA. The hijinx would really start then! We think, NASA should invite Senator Cruz on board a test flight and &#8216;accidentally&#8217; shoot him into space. That would be a win for Planet Earth.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3809\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3809\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?attachment_id=3809\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3809\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3809\" title=\"tedcruzsciencenasa\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tedcruzsciencenasa.jpg\" alt=\"Texas Senator Ted Cruz calls himself Mr. Science and names Creation Museum founder, Ken Ham, as head of NASA.\" width=\"500\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tedcruzsciencenasa.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tedcruzsciencenasa-300x249.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teabagger darling and smuggest Senator alive, Ted Cruz, promises he&#39;ll remake NASA and science to his and his religious supporters&#39; liking.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the &#8216;You&#8217;ve got to be kidding me&#8217; file&#8230;anti-science enthusiast and the smuggest human alive, Ted Cruz, has been named chair of the Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness.
