Not content with simply whining about one thing at a time, Ed Markey (D-Ma) works the Internet and globull warming into the same rant (via The Blaze through The Daily Bayonette through Tom Nelson) Some choice derangement from his rants about GOP legislation to stop ‘net neutrality” and stop the EPA from regulation greenhouse gases […]
