Matt at Pooflingers Anonymous has a post up about an event that seems almost foreign to someone living in the Deep South – a school is being sued because a teacher was allegedly critical of a student’s religion in the classroom.

Marc Morano is the resident authority on global warming with the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works minority staff. He says media coverage of the ice collapse was both “shameful” and “embarrassing,”
With this guy being described as an “environmental expert” and a “resident authority” on climate, he must be a pretty impressive climate scientist, right?
Morano was “previously known as Rush Limbaugh’s ‘Man in Washington,’ as reporter and producer for the Rush Limbaugh Television Show
… which would certainly make him an expert on hot air. How that makes him an expert in the field of climate science, I’m not certain.
