Go figure

Now that we are in our new Dark Age, it seems appropriate to chronicle the descent.

Out of today's news (thanks wire service):

° The Democrats have chosen Nevada Senator Harry Reid as Senate Majority Whip. Who? Well, he opposes abortion, lacks charisma and comes from a state that went Red. So I guess he's perfect.

° School officials in Cobb County, Georgia, have to go to court today to defend themselves from trying to insert religion into their school. Stickers were inserted in science text books warning students that "evolution is a theory, not a fact." Another village has lost its idiot.

° And as if we could not top that, a post-election poll indicates that voters think the first priority should be resolving the situation in Iraq. They also want Bush to cut the deficit rather than pushing for more tax cuts. Only two percent named cutting taxes a priority. I suppose the two percent who will get the cuts.
