Right Article, Wrong Line
I know I'm not supposed to be doing this...and I swear I'm still on break, but:
Jesse Taylor rounds up what he calls "Stupid Statements In ID Today...This Morning...Between 9 And 1," and it's true that he found some real howlers. Among them is this excellent bit of deduction from Les Kinsolving of the prestigious World Net Daily:
On the other hand, the alternative to believing in intelligent design is the plausibility of an explosion in a printing press resulting in several miles of paper forming Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.As Jim Henley would say, I --- look. Fuck it.
However, Kinsolving outdid himself in the conclusion of his "essay." To wit:
And from Massachusetts, Democratic Rep. Barney Frank offered the following:If you're wondering what this gay-bashing non sequitur is doing in a column about intelligent design, then 1) you're a faggot, and 2) you must be impervious to realizing that fags (like Darwin) are pushing evolution as part of their campaign to recruit my Christian children.
"It is, of course, further indication that a fundamentalist right has really taken over much of the Republican Party. People might cite George Bush as proof that you can be totally impervious to the effects of Harvard and Yale education."
Which, considering Congressman Frank's membership in Harvard's Class of 1962, suggests the question: Does he believe that President Bush and the majority of U.S. voters are pervious to sodomy?
