"Breathtaking Inanity"

Well.... yea. That pretty much sums it up.

I fear, deeply DEEPLY fear for our future. There was a time when logical scientific analysis was a point of pride. Now it is fraught with suspicion. When the basic concept of scientific theory...the very definition of it... cannot be explained to the religious whackjobs who get themselves elected to school boards, we are quickly tumbling down that slippery slope.

They simply can NOT...seemingly physical unable.... to comprehend that a scientific theory is, indeed, a fact. It is not a theory as in "Theoretically, school board members should be well educated." Or as in "Theoretically, philosophy and world religions would not be taught in science class." Or as in "My theory of the way the world began is rooted deeply in the teachings of the Flying Spaghetti Monster."

And may you be touched by His Noodly Appendage this holiday season.

not only elected to our school boards, but to the highest office in the land. And I have true reason to fear, my kids are being educated in the state of Kansas.

Google Judge Roy Moore. That'll really make your head spin. I expect he stands a good shot at being the next governor of Alabama, so help us.
