BILL INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS TO PROMOTE INTELLIGENT DESIGN

New York Times, March 1, 2006

Representative Mike Huckabee (R-AR) has introduced a bill into Congress that would require the teaching of Intelligent Design alongside evolution.

According to Huckabee, the Education Balance Act is not meant to promote Intelligent Design over evolution, but to require schools to give equal weight to both theories, allowing students to make their own conclusions.

[To Congress] Hate to put it to you, but intelligent design belongs in theology class. In science class, you're supposed to learn science, not religion.

[From Fuckabee] Shut the fuck up, liberal socialist.

I expect to see a lot of resistance from many teachers if this goes through, either protesting or just ignoring the bill and teaching science. On the other hand, I've had a few teachers who would have been delighted not to have to teach "godless evolution," too.

"What are the chances of this bill passing Congress?"

"Pretty high, I'd say. The midterms are close, and the GOP will definitely want to show their fundie constituents that they care about 'Christian values'."

GEORGIA INVADES CHECHNYA

The Daily Mail, March 1, 2006

The Republic of Georgia has sent troops into Chechnya in response to incursions by Chechen jihadists along the Georgia-Chechnya border.

The former autonomous republic of Russia has been ruled by an Islamic fundamentalist regime since the collapse of the Russian central government after the destruction of Moscow in May 2004. The Georgian government has accused the regime of aiding Islamist insurgencies in neighboring states, including Georgia.
