Bush's Existence Disproves "Theory" of Intelligent Design

On Monday, Bush claimed that religious perspectives on creationism should be taught alongside scientific theories in our nation's classrooms. No wonder our students are lagging behind other countries in the sciences. This, along with Bush's denial of global warming and backwards view on stem cell research (which is out of step with the majority of Americans) is all part of his grand scheme to bring scientific progress to a halt and return us to the dark ages.

Bush's science adviser, John H. Marburger 3rd, scrambled to play down the president's remarks. Marburger said in a telephone interview that "evolution is the cornerstone of modern biology" and "intelligent design is not a scientific concept." Marburger also said that Mr. Bush's remarks should be interpreted to mean that the president believes that intelligent design should be discussed as part of the "social context" in science classes.

This denial aside, isn't Bush's very existence living proof that there is no "intelligent" design? And if Bush needs further proof of the theory of evolution, all he has to do is look in the mirror (and all we have to do is click on the link below):

Last Throes Update

It's been months now since Cheney declared the insurgency in Iraq is in its "last throes." Today, 14 marines were killed in a bombing, bringing the total of US soldier deaths over the last 3 days to 21.

But, as conservatives always whine, what about the "good" news in Iraq? I'll bet, along with these 14 marines losing their life, somewhere in Iraq a school was painted today!!! Conservatives should be consoled by the fact that not even the bad news in Iraq is being covered. I've barely seen a mention of today's mass casualties on CNN's morning coverage.

UPDATE: In the face of one of the deadliest and most violent weeks in Iraq, Bush responds by starting his FIVE WEEK long vacation.

New Yellow Dog Country?

This open letter from ProgressiveU.org makes me want to move to the country of New California:

Dear Red States,

We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us.

In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the entire Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California.

To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all of the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom... We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue; you get to make the red states pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush’s Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America’s quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all of the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Warmest regards,

The citizens of New California

Fat Cat Update: War Profiteering

Cheney's former company, Halliburton, announced on Friday a 284 percent increase in operating profits during the second quarter of this year, all from no-bid Pentagon contracts.

While the war in Iraq is costing taxpayers upwards of $700 billion, it's good to know that Cheney and his fat cat pals are profiting from the war. Sickening.
