Shim-kus

Shimkus - (def. latin shim - to try to refute a complicated scientific principle; kus  - with pedantic and irrational theological precepts) 20th century. ex. We explained that the earth was round but we ran into a shimkus.





Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) is the new chair of the Environment and Economy Subcommittee. This subcommittee has jurisdiction over energy policy, energy regulation and utilization and the Clean Air Act. I think that it is foolhardy to put a man who thinks the way this man does in such a position. Every hearing is now destined to become a bible study. And the grossest act of pollution is just part of god's infallible plan.

Hope you're happy.
