Intelligent design

Our chimp-in-chief has told a group of reporters that American schools should teach alternatives to evolution, such as intelligent design theory. Ugh. The man himself is a living proof that an alternative to evolution does exist, although I would not call him a result of intelligent design either.

OTOH, what do you expect from a guy who asks Pope for scientific advice?

Fundies are all excited. "It's not some backwater view. It's a view held by the majority of Americans," said Gary Bauer. Yeah, and we have a name for those people in America. They are called "the lower half of the bell curve". (I seriously hope there is no more than half.)
