Before Tim Burchett shocked the nation with his revelation that space aliens are hiding underwater, he might have been best known for introducing a bill in the Tennessee state legislature to legalize the eating of roadkill.

If your car hits a deer in Tennessee, you can have venison for dinner. Except that that had never been illegal.

It was also at the bottom of the digest which I missed too, I usually go through the email at 6 AM and sometimes the things don't stick or my eyes go right by something but it does help adjust them for the day hah.

Sounds like Tim Burchett would be a perfect fit for the Roadkill Section of RFK JrтАЩs Disease Efficiency Advancement Department (DEAD).

PS. Did BurchettтАЩs bill also cover whether you could eat road-killed aliens? (Just to be clear, I am not referring to Tennessean proclivity, whether real or rumored, for eating undocumented migrants or their pets.)

I think it's interesting that he admitted the universe was more than 10,000 years old.

Perhaps he is a budding coprolitologist?

Perhaps. But I'm not sure if you're referring to him being interested in groundhogging, or something else.
