I still don’t have much love for the Creationist movement, but this Ben Stein movie is hilarious. It, among other things, follows scientists who were blacklisted for being associated with “intelligent design.” It’s pretty well done. Made me laugh.

That barrel of pork, what a dirty dirty operation.  It’s about to be passed. They found all the votes, and by ‘found’ I mean came to an agreement upon how much cash and concessions the hold-outs get for voting for this messy example of bad legislation. I’ve been watching msn. They must only allow the serious partisan congress people on there, or maybe they administer an IQ test to filter out anyone with sense. They’re all so scattered except for their unanimous idea that they tried really hard to get the Republicans in on things, but the Republicans are just being totally rude and everything. I mean, the Dems and Obama tried so hard, so very sincerely hard, for this to be bi-partisan. They let some Republicans talk – like – out loud. Obama listened to some Republicans offer ideas – yeah he ignored the ideas along with the rest of us but again – he let them talk. And it’s not like Republicans aren’t allowed to vote for the bill – they’re just not allowed anywhere near the writing process or anywhere near the bill until right before we all vote for it. I mean, all those jerky Reps had to do was blindly fall in line behind Reid and Pelosi – gosh…
