Vitter wants to give your tax bucks to zealots so they can pimp creationism in Public Schools
David Vitter, the christian conservative family values republican senator from LA who likes to fuck prostitutes has earmarked $100,000 in a bill for a Louisiana Christian group that has challenged the teaching of Darwinian Evolution in public schools. The purpose for the money: "to develop a plan to promote better science education." Yeah, maybe our kids need to know who created Whores. The groups website contained a battle plan to combat evolution which they called "a dangerous concept that has no place in the classroom." The document was removed after a reporter's inquiry.

In other republican party news:

A Hancock County Mississippi County Supervisor, Jay Cuevas, a republican, was arrested in Grand Isle, Louisiana for shoplifting. He pleaded innocent, displaying that treasured conservative value of never taking responsibility for anything.

4. Great! When will they support alchemy and flat-world geography?
And we really need to push for a return to the geo-centric Aristotelian view of cosmology.

It's never to late to start moving backward! Support religious fundamentalism now!

7. He can if he wants to ...remember the recent Supreme Court decision
where they let Wisconsin give money to religious organizations over the filing of a law suit by someone. The lawsuit asked that their tax money not be given to bush's faith based organizations. To separate church an state. But he lost the lawsuit. The government can give our tax money to any religious organization they want and we have nothing to say about it.
