Yeah, this one has been floating around the intertubes for a few days now.
She is an AZ state senator, not a US Senator from AZ. Not that she wouldn't fit right in with the US senate and house.... plenty of wingnuttery going on at the federal level too.

And at least 39000 years after the first simple boats were made. (If I remember correctly.)
What kind of school does not teach at least the very basics of the history of the Earth? Or did she simply fail that badly, and then avoided reading books? I guess so.

It's astonishing and frightening. |
