From Pharyngula, where the godless masses like myself report daily for our marching orders, comes the news that in the bleak, science-phobic plains of Texas, there appears hope from the unlikeliest of sources, two politicians, State Senator Rodney Ellis and State Representative Patrick Rose. These two gentleman have written an op-ed to the Houston Chronicle stating that the creationist filled Texas State Board of Education needs to be held accountable for their performance, especially as the state claims that it wants to be a leader in the field of scientific research.
So, upon going to the Houston Chronicle site, I came upon this gem of a comment, from the so-called editor of EducationNews.org (THE INTERNET"S LEADING SOURCE FOR EDUCATION NEWS!!!!!)
"Too bad Ellis and Rose don’t understand the facts of like. The same
people and organizations that have been against the SBOE for years are
also strong advocates for teaching kids how to have gay sex, kill
babies, anti-free enterprise and so on. I often wonder where Ellis is
when it comes to the massive drop-out rate in Houston ISD? Stand up for
the kids senator not somoff-beat agenda."

It's not always easy to connect the dots between gay sex, baby killing, and communism, folks, but hats off to Jimmy Kilpatrick. Chris, perhaps you can go thank him personally!
Sometimes, I am glad I live in South Carolina.
