We know Spring Fever — a general increase in energy and sexual appetite — is definitely a thing, but it seemed this week that sudden-loud-and-horrible-opinions-from-old-white-guys fever is a thing, too. From “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak coming out over Twitter as a global-warming truther (and inexplicably calling global warming “alarmists” unpatriotic and racist?) to a Florida representative claiming that the Common Core is part of the “gay agenda,” we’re left scratching our heads.
