Speaking of dumbshit GOP senators from weak states who say dumb shit because they’re dumb, here’s Tom “I tied my own shoes today” Coburn!

note the difference between the GOP senator, who probably can’t wipe his own ass without assistance, and the Berkeley researcher who is probably twice this fool’s IQ:

Berkeley computer science professor Pieter Abbeel, one of the researchers behind the project, told me that the towel folding experiment was just a small part of a much broader effort aimed at creating robots that can handle the complexities of real environments. Here’s what he wrote in a rebuttal:

“[I]n order to expand the use of robots beyond manufacturing the machines must be far more sophisticated in terms of their ability to deal with complexity. That’s what our work is all about. Towel folding is just a first, small step towards a new generation of robotic devices that could, for example, significantly increase the independence of elderly and sick people, protect our soldiers during combat, and a host of other applications that would revolutionize our day-to-day lives.”

If this country continues to elect people like Tom Coburn, this country deserves to fail as a country. We elect these fools, and then we wonder why we fall behind in the sciences. Because look! We elected men who are dogshit in human form! What were we expecting?
