For those of you who have been under a rock for the past week or so, you might have missed Mr. Bush coming out in favor of teaching so-called “Intelligent Design” in schools.
Personally, I’m surprised he’s waited this long before taking a swipe at evolution. It’s pretty obvious that he’s in a serious state of denial about his uncanny resemblance to a chimp…
I’m more in favor of teaching the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory of design. There’s something just plain comforting about the thought of His Noodly Appendage intervening to change the results of scientific experiments.
Wait… Comforting isn’t the word I’m looking for… Oh yeah. “Creepy.” That’s better.
On the other hand, the obligatory wearing of pirate regalia while teaching FSM-Guided Evolution should have the added benefit of reducing global warming, so that’s a bonus.
A very funny guy going by the name “Kung-Fu Monkey” has a really good post on the subject of Bush’s intelligent design fiasco. My favorite bit:
…[N]ever mind voting Democrat: if my choice were between these cowards who would turn back the Enlightenment and anal-probing yet intellectually honest Martians, I would grit my teeth, vote for the Martians and learn to visualize my Happy Place during my Probe-Center appointments.
