A majority, 6 memebers, of the Kansas state board of education proved without a doubt they were lacking in "Intelligent design" when they voted to flunk the real scientifc evidence in evolution and put it on an equal level with religious faith in their school systems. What's next ascension to heaven on an equal basis with gravity. Or the world is flat because you can see it ends at the horizon? In India and China they're pumping out scientists to understand the future and control it. Here in America, if it's up to Kansas and the religious right pulling the Republican's strings these days, I guess we will be left to praying our future turns out OK?

How have we regressed this far in just 5 years of Bush/Rove's bullshit political policies pandering to their base while they open up the US financial pantry to the rich and conservative corporate interests that paid to put them in power? What's happening in France right now with the rioting could be our future if the Republican's keep stealing from the middle class and the poor to give to the rich in this country.
Aren't most of these French rioters Muslims? I don't get it, I thought Islam was a peaceful religion, except for the terrorists,? I know economic need often trumps religion, but come on maybe this gives an explanation why there are not many Muslim democracys, and another reason why our policy in Iraq is a fools game.

You get what you pay for and you get what you vote for and in California we got Arnold. When a whole lot of Republican and corporate money turned the voters in California into movie star groupies and they voted this clown into the Governor's office it was almost as bad as those fools in Minn. who voted in even a bigger clown Jesse Ventura. But I guess this is what politics has become these days, with enough dollars and dirty tricks and lies any dummy can even become President. Ventura was an embarrasment and they dumped him quickly but he never pulled a costly stunt like Arnold just did with this needless and expensive special election. In a nearly bankrupt state this cigar smoking buffoon who got into office on the claim he would take a bi-partisan approach to solving the state's financial woes; Just pissed away about $60 million tax dollars to hold a special election to give him more power to push his once covert Republican/Bush agenda. In true Republican style he attacked the middle class and the poor, teachers, nurses, firemen and their safety net unions to sell his Republican partisan politics.
Thank goodness the groupie voters came to their senses and realized what a fraud and con man this two bit movie star is and soundly defeated his costly and unethical power grab. But unfortunately for the Democrats and the unions, fighting off this unecessary, ruthless Republican power grab cost them millions of dollars from their campaign coffers and will put them in bad financial straits fighting off the next Republican power grab financed by a bottemless well of right wing and corporate campaign funds. What you won't read in the mainstream media is how Arnold "took one for the Republican team" but ultimately hurt the Demos and unions severely by sucking all the money out they could use for future campaigns and issues. Maybe even his re-election campaign........politics Republican style is dirty, dirty business.
