Oy.

Oklahoma's newest addition to the U.S. Senate, Tom Coburn, is at it again. A headline in the Journal Record, an Oklahoma City-based business newspaper, says it all:

Coburn: U.S. should apologize to Enron

Janice Francis-Smith reports that Coburn told an Oklahoma City Rotary Club yesterday that the U.S. government "owes Enron executives an apology" because "the accounting of the federal government is worse than anything Enron ever did."

That's right, Uncle Sam's accounting practices are worse than what is perhaps the most egregious corporate fraud of recent times, an orgy of greed and deceit that helped concoct a phony California energy crisis and evaporated the pensions of hundreds of thousands of employees. Someone get Doc Tom to a movie theater, stat, to see the excellent documentary, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, so that he can get a little better fix on reality.

Wait a minute. What am I talking about? Coburn and a better fix on reality?

He has more examples. This site has mentioned Dr. Tom's alternate view of physical matter here, here, here, here, here, and here.
