The Navy is a tradition in the Bush family. The first president Bush was a Navy pilot. The current President Bush spends money like a drunken sailor." --Bill Maher

Viva La France!
With creationism now coming
in Christian and Muslim versions, scientists, teachers and theologians in France
are debating ways to counteract what they see as growing religious attacks on
science.
Bible-based criticism of evolution, once limited to Protestant fundamentalists
in the United States, has become
an issue in France now that Pope Benedict and some leading Catholic theologians
have criticized the neo-Darwinist view of creation.

In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday-Sunday,

White House officials to testify.

Valerie Plame Wilson Update
A story of world diplomacy, secret agents, government misdeeds and international intrigue was the reason a scheduled speaker couldn't make it to the University of Iowa. The speaker who took the place of CIA agent Valerie Plame was her husband, Joseph Wilson. He admitted it wasn't another obligation, but "the status of...sensitive negotiations" with her former employer, the CIA, that was the reason lawyers told them it wouldn't be appropriate for her to speak publicly right now.
