Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how nutty InsaniTEA can become.  I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one can top Donald Trump’s comically clueless statement this week that he knows hardship because his dad only gave him a small loan of a million dollars. And he had to pay it back! With interest! Still, the right wing is honing its comic skills and perfecting it’s lift-off from any semblance of reality whatsoever.<\/p>\n

3. Ben Carson’s his fool-proof plan to deal with sea level rise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben Carson is kind of a Republican superhero. He separates conjoined twins, lies through his teeth about his relationship with the shady nutritional supplements company Mannatech, and solves the problem of the drastic seal level rise that is coming our way all in a single bound, and while he is seemingly half awake. See? Superhero!<\/p>\n

The GOP presidential frontrunner, who unlike his peers is a man of science, never lets that extensive medical education stand in the fantasy world he lives in. He has previously gone on record questioning the Big Bang, evolution and gravity, and compared women who get abortions to slave-owners. This week, he unveiled his plan to deal with the watery effect of climate change.<\/p>\n

“It is important to remember that amateurs built the Ark and it was the professionals that built the Titanic.”<\/p>\n

Yeupp, arks. Arks are the solution to the coming flood. It’s right there in the Bible. Don’t worry. God will show you how to build them. Just as god has shown us the best tax system, tithing.<\/p>\n

No wonder Dr. Carson seems so relaxed all the time. He knows we’re in good hands.<\/p>\n
