That response is totally awesome.

Oh, in other news: Texans vote to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage.

Welcome to the 21st century! Not the hovercars we were promised, eh?

In worse (for me) news, San Francisco banned smoking in ANY public park, and ALL of Orange County's coast is officially smokefree as well :(

That artical reads:

The new public school standards include several specific challenges to evolution, including statements that there is a lack of evidence or natural explanation for the genetic code, charges that fossil records are inconsistent with evolutionary theory, and a statement that says certain evolutionary explanations "are not based on direct observations ... and often reflect ... inferences from indirect or circumstantial evidence."

I'm sorry, but I must have missed the "direct observations" of the talking snake in the apple tree and the man who was missing part of his rib because it was inside his wife, who later populated the entire world through ramapnt incest.
Ugh! How can people really be so stupid? I wouldn't care if a certain group BELIEVES that 2 + 2 = 356, for example, but I wouldn't want it taught in public schools!

"If you've got the time, maybe you should write one too."

Can I just write, "What he said. Totally."?
