Kansas

[plonq]

I was going to slam Kansas for their recent "advances" for the cause of science and critical thinking, but if these polls are to be believed, they speak for the majority of the nation.  It's not religion that bothers me, it's that far too many people think that it exonerates them from any need for critical thinking.

"I let the preacher do my thinking for me."

Bah.  Couple that with the fact that we're probably going to have a Christmas federal election (December 26th has been tossed out as the probable date) and my cynicism meter didn't just max out, it hit the stop and the needle is bending dangerously.  Bleah.  Bleah.

Ooooooh, if any party forces an election for Dec 26, they are going to pay so hard it wouldn't even be funny. :O

I know. It's such a stupid and short-sighted announcement by the New Democrats, I can't imagine what they are thinking. I almost wonder if the Liberals haven't been purposely egging them on a bit to try and get them to snap and force an early election. The timing is almost too perfect - and it's jut the kind of Machiavellian machinations of which the Libs are capable.
