Orson writes an Op Ed again. This time on Intelligent Design.

Lame. He calls out the fallacies of the Darwinists by listing arguments that those who support evolution do not make. Card is a big fan of making the common man believe that there are elitist smart people out there who want the stupid people (if you're not smart, what are you?) believe that evolution is the correct theory just because we say so. However, supporters of Intelligent Design like to use bad arguments and bad science on the less intelligent person, and that seems more desirable because it can be explained in lay terms. Or something like that.

But, I must note that Card's point #5 does say: "They are very careful not to specify who or what the Intelligent Designer might be. So they are not advocating for any particular religion, or any religion at all. For all anyone knows, the supposed Intelligent Designers might be an alien species of mortal, ungodlike beings."

So, given that, have you accepted the Flying Spaghetti Monster as your personal Pasta and Sav(i)or?

Thanks to imlac for pissing me off with the Card link.

Here's an interesting little blurb for us Californians. A vacaville woman who once met with Bush in 2004 is now protesting outside his ranch until she can talk to him again. She lost her son in Iraq last year.

From the files of "good examples of international relations" comes the Russian submarine rescue. Death in a tiny metal tube in deep, murky waters doesn't sound like my idea of a good time. Good job for the Brits who rescued the formerly unlucky Russians!

The Space Shuttle's landing was delayed a day due to weather concerns. I'll be keeping good thoughts for a safe return of the crew.


I'm rather cheesed over the Intelligent Design flare up from last week. Time magazine churned out an article in this week's issue. So, I'll resort to name-calling and say that this guy is a moron. And this guy's August 3rd post is a reasonably nice response of said moron's opinion.
