By the Way,

Bush went public that he supports the teaching of "intelligent design" in public education. Figures, since ID teaches that life on earth is too complex to explain so it must be in the will of God. I wonder if he can convince the Red Staters that maybe ID is the reason why their sons and daughters are dying by the thousands in Iraq. Maybe it's ID that's the root of why oil prices are skyrocketing; maybe it's ID that caused all of those WMDs to appear in the land of the fertile crescent. Ironic, isn't it, since many of the stories and theologies of the Old Testament Jews originated from that Mesopotamian place that this nation currently occupies. While George removes his opposable thumb from his butt, maybe he'll realize that he should stick to screwing up the present and not the future by meddling in education. The last thing we need is a class clown telling the school how it should be run. Maybe everyone'll get C's in order to disguise the dummies whose parents will keep them running the place.
