Yeah, I’m still here. Not my last post today, but just wanna give you a few things to look at on the tubes today.
You’ve probably seen that old clip of Bill O’Reilly’s meltdown by now. Oh, the anger and angst it exudes - you can read into it a raging, sexually frustrated alcoholic who’s incredibly miffed that the high point of his career at that point was a tabloid news show. In case you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t seen it:
What’s even better: “Fuck It: The Remix”.
Julie at GMD has some hilarious insights on that new GOP slogan, “Change You Deserve”. First thing I thought when I heard it - what did I do that was so bad? Did I kill someone or milk some old lady out of her life’s savings?
PZ at Pharyngula has updates on the latest religious stupidity. There’s a bill in Oklahoma now that will prevent teachers from actually judging students’ work on whether it’s actually correct or not:
A controversial provision in House Bill 2633 states that “students may express their beliefs about religion in homework, artwork, and other written and oral assignments free from discrimination based on the religious content of their submissions.”
So if you turn in a paper in biology that promotes the creation myth or perhaps a social studies paper that finds religious justification for the oppression of (fill in the blank), they can’t give you a bad grade. Bullshit. Also, in Maine, a school board member is trying to get evolution out of the classroom because it “can’t be proven”. I thought this kinda shit only happened south of the Mason-Dixon line. Silly me.
