This story about a town in Pennsyvania which is being roiled by "controversy" over teaching the "theory" of evolution in schools has been brilliantly eviscerated by others wiser than I, but I do love this quote:
Both sides acknowledge the political context of the debate over Darwinism, and the relation to the re-election of staunchly Christian President George W. Bush.
"Christians are a lot more bold under Bush's leadership, he speaks what a lot of us believe," said Mummert.
"We've been attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of the culture," he said, adding that the school board's declaration is just a first step.
("Help! I'm being oppressed for being a total dumbass!"
Funny. I
always thought the goal was to become educated and intelligent. Shows
you what I know.)
