Nuts

I forgot to bring home the Molly Ivans piece today. As I recall it was pretty tame. Something about "this was supposed to be the government that ran like a business; well, Bush is giving business a bad name." Except that our economy is running full steam thanks to well-aimed tax breaks (not all of them are well-aimed, and I'm ashamed of that, but some are), and a nice war to keep some parts of the economy hot. (Did I say that out loud?). Oh, and businesses don't normally run wars, but, yeah, that's not really an excuse.

Today there were two news items about Pat Robertson, the Anti-Christ. He wants to build a theme park in Israel. WTF? And he warned a town that voted Intelligent Design out of the high school science curriculum that they were likely to be in for big trouble since they had "voted God out of your town." Sigh.

Whatever ID is, is ain't science. It is not falsifiable. So it shouldn't be taught as if it is science. End o' discussion.

I'm teaching a quickie class on the Creeds to our confirmation class on Sunday. More on that Sunday.
