I didn't know Minnesota (PZ's state) is as backward as Alabama.

It's not just the Deep South that's infested with theocratic Christian assholes. Even Minnesota, which borders Canada, recently had a governor who denies evolution. Only retards deny the foundation of biology. A northern state with a retarded governor. Wow.

I wrote the following comment at Tim Pawlenty talks God and creationism in Iowa speech which may or may not be censored. (UPDATE: My comment was censored.)

"He said in Minnesota, they left it up to local school districts to decide whether to include ‘intelligent design’ in the curriculum."

Is that true? Is Minnesota really that backward? I would expect this idiocy in Alabama but not Minnesota.

"Intelligent design" are code words dishonest Christians use when they really mean "supernatural magic". Teaching magic in a science classroom is more than ridiculous.

Tim Pawlenty is an evolution denier. That makes him an uneducated moron. And you people elected him to be your governor. Pathetic.
