		<description>Dim, Dimmer and Just Plain Dumb!


Daring Designs for George W's Library [sic]

Senator Larry Craig's ultimate facilities would be snugly small.
Basically like a cozy restroom stall.
Dick$ter Cheney reflects favored cold devious fun.
Shaped like his blood staind smoking shotgun.
Rudy Giuliani has really versatilely impressed.
Contoured like huge breasts that double as another of his many love nests.
Mitt Romney's plans must be really strange.
For the constantly change.
John McCain did modestly abstain.
Regarding one he does so personally disdain.
Ron Paul thinks it is all so much verbal smoke.
Since America will soon be financially broke.
Mike Huckabee's steady course is to pray.
Like Fred Thompson and his hair - it'll just go away.
Harvard joined Yale with a classic patterned after Roman Emperor Nero.
Just a great big zero.
Karl Rove is secretly certain.
Every design will be like George W - wholly owned by Halliburton.
Condi Rice's chances are indeed slim.
She only has designs ON him?

		<description>There's also an error in their reporting of the legal situation. They say:
&lt;blockquote&gt;According to the U.S. Supreme Court, creation science and intelligent design introduce religion into the classroom, violating the Constitution.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
In fact, the Supreme Court has not ruled on "Intelligent Design." The Dover judge was following precedents that Scalia would overturn and, with Roberts and Alito now on the Court, Scalia might have the majority he needs now to do that. Remember, also, that Scalia &lt;i&gt;dissented&lt;/a&gt; from the decision against Louisiana's "Balanced Treatment for Creation Science" law. See
http://curricublog.org/2008/01/19/tx-fl-evolution/

While I'm here, let me reiterate my call at
http://curricublog.org/2008/01/12/icr-nclb/
urging that the Texas Higher Ed board be alerted to serious consequences that could be threatened if they approve a Creation Institute grad degree in "science education" as a program for certifying science teachers.</description>

		<description>When will the public schools teach the controversies--dark matter, special relativity--when it comes to gravity? Is it because the TAKS test abhors a controversy? Or is it because Gail Lowe and her ilk on the religious right have been unduly influenced by Newtonian physics?</description>

		<description>Good job. Intelligent design is pure marketing and that's all. If you doubt that, then just ask the Discovery Institute what they've actually accomplished these past 20 years, besides churning out an endless stream of videos and pamphlets.</description>
