Draft Dodging Carpetbagger

That's my nickname for our outgoing unlamented president. He's not actually from Texas, you know. He was born in Connecticut or Maine or something like that. And yet we're forever tarnished by this mess. What I dislike about him most is not the elective war or the torture or the assault on civil liberties(this list could go on), it's what Hillary Clinton called the "war on science." It's the interference with the World Health Organization, twisting environmental rules and that nonsense with the endangered species list(we can always breed more savanna monkeys, but charismatic megafauna are well, charismatic). Beyond the dislike of applied science, what's truly frightening about the current GOP is the assault on Darwin. I don't know what W thinks about this, but clearly his party has done nothing about the snake handling wing that pushes the nonsense that is "intelligent design." That was one of the sharpest nails in Palin's coffin for me. Evolution now, evolution forever!
