Evolution, Intelligent Design & Astrology

Hey kids tired of boring science classes? Stumped by rational thinking? Have I got a theory for you!

It's called Intelligent Design (ID rhymes with idiot) and it's the new rage! Proponents of ID note that it's just
as valid as astrology...jeepers all the memorizing of those zodiac names like Sagittarius or Gemini and those things will finally pay off in a real live science class! Well maybe, it depends on how that pesky court case goes.

And don't forget to make your travel plans now for the Creation Museum in beautiful Petersburg Kentucky! It's going to have animatronic dinasaurs that we all know existed at the same time as humans only 5 or 6 thousand years ago....golly do ya think they will find some dinasaurs with leashes. "Honey I have to go out and walk the T-Rex!"

Hmmm do you think they had pooper-scooper laws back then?

American Girl Dolls - Boycott?

Those wacky Christian Conservatives are at it again. The American Family Association is seriously considering promoting a boycott of the popular American Girl dolls. It's obvious from a cursory glance at the American Girl website that their link to the American Red Cross encouraging donations for hurricane relief make this a highly subversive organization deserving of the scorn of all "true" Americans.

Apparently Girls Inc. supports a woman's right to choose, i.e. a law.

(Sigh...)

The AFA says that American Girl is donating to another highly subversive organization called Girls Inc. The Girls Inc. Web site prominently points out that they:

In addition, since 1992 Girls Inc. has provided over $1.8 million in college scholarships to girls who have become leaders in all walks of life and has played a crucial role in advancing girls' rights through supporting legislation such as Title IX and the Violence Against Women Act.

Clearly these are horrible actions deserving of a boycott.

The AFA claims:

AFA does not support "censorship." Censorship, by definition is government imposed. What AFA does support is responsibility. Producers and advertisers alike realize that what people see and hear does affect them. (If this were not true, they would not pay the astronomical fees for advertising.) Our belief is that if we can encourage advertisers to sponsor only quality programming, then networks and producers will not have the financial encouragement to produce shows diametrically opposed to the traditional family.

In other words they aren't the government so by definition they can't censor anything but golly they wish they could.

It's always a pleasure to see YAHTT (Yet Another Holier Then Thou) organization getting busy!

Watch Those Leaky Condoms Karl

Ya gotta hand it to the latest group of protesters pointing out poor Karl Rove's problems. A collection of 3 condoms could be seens marching in from of the Washington DC Disctric Court where Karl was, for the 4th time, testifying before the grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA agent's identity.

Pehaps if things don't work out for Karl he can endorse Condoms..."They don't leak...Karl swears!"

Arrogance, Corruption, & Incompetence...Oh My!

Things are not looking pretty for the Bush administration and the Republicans in general. Let's see where to begin there's just so much news! The War (you know the one in Iraq) continues to be a disaster, the body count is almost at 2000, the Iraqi Army is not doing well taking over, and the impending elections are just a big question mark.

In general the war seems to have been run like disaster preparedness at home. Speaking of home, there not much more to say about the joke of a response to Katrina, the incompetence of FEMA, Brownie and the entire Homeland Security apparatus.

Last but not least we have the troika or the leak of a CIA operative by someone close to Rove or Rove himself or in that ballpark; the investigation of Bill Frist for that oh so convenient timing of stock sales, from a blind trust - good trick! and finally the indictment of Tom (the Hammering one) DeLay, and he was such a kind fellow.

How's that saying go, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely..?
