How about the striking chronological parallels between the Spanish Inquisition and Oklahoma?

Sally Kern proposes bill that forces teachers to question evolution, climate science
January 29, 2011
The National Center for Science Education asserts of creationism that “students who accept this material as scientifically valid are unlikely to succeed in science courses at the college level.” But that hasn’t stopped state Rep. Sally Kern (R) from proposing the second anti-evolution bill this year in Oklahoma. ThinkProgress has the story in this repost.

Sen. Inhofe Shapes Major GOP Bills to Fight EPA's Greenhouse Gas Regs

The Senate's most vocal climate change skeptic has taken a key role in crafting two bills to be introduced next week that would both permanently stop U.S. EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), who famously called climate change the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," will unveil a bill with House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) that would strip EPA of its authority to limit carbon emissions from power plants, refineries and other stationary sources.

At the same time, he will be a "first co-sponsor" of a much broader bill that would bar the federal government from regulating greenhouse gas emissions under any existing environmental law. That measure will be introduced Monday by Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), who serves on the Environment and Public Works Committee, on which Inhofe is the ranking Republican.
