   I wish it was just stupid!But ideology trumps intelligence with these conservatives.  
   The Pew Center found:
   
   "Among Republicans, higher education is linked to greater skepticism about global warming -- fully 43% of Republicans with a college degree say that there is no evidence of global warming, compared with 24% of Republicans with less education."
   
   http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=303 ...
   I know some conservative Republicans who are  educated and employed in biology and natural resources and who do not believe in global warming.  In their eyes global warming is a "liberal's" issue.  Their reactionary nature  rejects a message like "An Inconvenient Truth" from Al Gore simply because it came from Al.  I also add that several of these people religiously listen to and ape Rush Limbaugh.

   JustLouDoesn't it make sense to you that a person with more education should be more skeptical of everything?
   Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

   DeLay - When to know he's not lyingWhen his mouth is closed.  Or, in this case, when he's not typing.  If he wrote it, it's a lie.  Why would anyone believe anything he says?  I smacked him around a little too.

   Maybe they are right about evolution after allI mean, aren't Delay and his cronies living proof that Darwin was wrong and that there is, indeed, a (sometimes) spiteful and mysterious creator with a very droll sense of humor?
   On a more serious note, Sallie Baliunas' sidekick, Willie Soon is back at it, again.  This time, he says that not only is global warming not real, but that biologists claiming that polar bears are being endangered by melting  and breaking polar ice don't know what they are talking about either.  Of course, he, being an astronomer, would know better than climatologists or biologists about such things. . . .

   Skippy McDumbAss and other criminal stoogesHey, all:
   DeLay is someone I believe Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks could have just as easily been referring to when she said she was ashamed that Bush is from the same state of Texas as she calls (and I call) home.  Interchangeable Skippy McDumbAsses.  
   And even evolution creates anomalies and mistakes.  The difference is that evolution's mistakes don't have the support of the Corporate Oligarchy.  
   And it truly would NOT be so bad if it was merely stupid, but as the entire BushCo. parade has shown, it is highly dangerous in so many areas and on so many levels.  From the war, to the ecomony, to health care, to the environment, to practically every area of public policy and governance, it is a lesson in experiences never to be repeated.  
   And it should go without saying that a diploma (suggesting an education) is not a guarantee of intelligence or critical thinking--again, look at Skippy McDumbAss Bush.  
   What more need be said?
   David

   From Lake WobegonA friend from Anoka, MN (Keillor's hometown) sends this story link.  Funny how an elderly woman of no renown says more in a single sentence than Tom Delay in his entire life:

   BIRDS OF A FEATHER DISAPPEARING TOGETHER
   
   A new study by the National Audubon Society shows a dramatic decline in the populations of some 20 familiar bird species nationally. Most of those species are found in Minnesota.
