06.26.08Bobby Jindal – Why Science Majors Are Just As Irrational as Everyone ElseA while back I expressed my dismay over the lack of science majors and scientists in the US Congress. However, if such science majors were like Louisiana Governor (and GOP Vice Presidential prospect) Bobby Jindal, it would probably be best if we had as few of them as possible.

05.18.08Random Thing of the DayThe 15-or so voters have spoken, so here it is, the FOX piece I was referring to. Warning - only cynics and masochists need press "Play" This is a FOX Opinion News Network documentary propaganda piece featuring Newt Gingrich that appeals to their right-wing audience and runs through all the talking points of why church and state should be joined at the hip. They never mention specifically what kind of religion the US should adopt, but it's pretty obvious by looking at the logo. [poll id="4"]
