Open your mouth, and remove all doubt
Yup, they've got some Grade A idiots over there in Kansas on their state school board. As one of the dimmer bulbs apparently boasted, "This is a great day for education. This is one of the best things that we can do. This absolutely teaches more about science," said Steve E. Abrams, the Kansas board chairman.
And at least the normal folk on the board understand the global ramifications of the decision. Janet Waugh, who voted against the new standards said: "We're becoming a laughingstock, not only of the nation, but of the world."
Yes Janet, yes you have. Well not you personally, but certainly the majority of the board.
But then again, look to our national leadership - as Bush responded when asked about [un]intelligent design "Both sides ought to be properly taught . . . so people can understand what the debate is about."
The debate is about a chunk of people who apparently never learned the most basic things about science, including what it is and how it operates.

yeah, well, at least pat robertson won't call down the wrath of the lord on kansas. he already did that to the people in pennsylvania who turned out the creationists on the local school board. you know, jesus is coming, and boy is he pissed. that's what pat says. he also said during his presidential campaign that feminism causes women to become lesbians and kill their children. a very quotable fellow.
Yeah, at some point God needs to call Pat home. Wait, wasn't he going to do that a few years ago if they didn't raise enough money? Or was that another of those fools?
it can't come soon enough. pat's track record has taken some hits lately, though. keith olbermann reminded everyone that he also promised the wrath of god for disney world, when they discontinued their anti-gay admissions policies, or something like that. last time i looked, disney world is still standing and even missed the hurricane.
"drop kick me jesus, through the goalpoasts of life..."
