Wow - a creationist was appointed to high level position in the Conservative government back home. On the other side of the line Richard Dawkins has set up a foundation to promote acceptance of atheists (Richard, you better open a franchise in Ottawa.)
Speaking of the RDF (Richard Dawkins Foundation) there are great videos available there, including one with Collin McGinn, professor of philosophy at Rutgers (I read his excellent book recently - see this post).
The video is from Jonathan Miller's BBC series, A Brief History of Atheism and you can watch it bellow the fold: Well, something is wrong with my video link ... to see the clip go here.

Well, after the election, the press was buzzing about how Harper would parlay his minority into a majority in the next election. Now, it seems that he has dropped the ball, and that the current Liberal leadership race will determine the next prime minister. Ignatieff seems like the front-runner. I sure hope that that clown Bob Rae doesn't win; that would put the Conservatives into power for the rest of time.
