Lunatic in the Legislature

Arizona state Senator Sylvia Allen (R) voices support for opening up uranium mining in the state. Senetor Allen responds to statements by environmentalists by assuring them that the "Earth is 6,000 years old..."
It’s not that she says the Earth is 6000 years old — twice, just to make sure — that floors us. It’s the casual way she said it, as if she said "I had a cup of coffee today." From her manner, it’s clear that not only does she believe this complete and utter nonsense, but this is a simple fact woven into her mind just like the Sun is bright or chocolate is tasty.
