Just received word (literally, 5 minutes ago) Senate Bill 320 was killed in committee! This required several 'nay' votes from Republicans, so thank you to those brave souls.
SUCK IT, IDiots!

Jason Rosenhouse thinks that PZ, Ed Brayton, Revere, and I have reached a "strange conclusion" about the recent Democratic cave-in on wiretapping. It doesn't make sense, at least to him, that we'd blame the Democrats, given that 80% of the Democrats in Congress didn't vote for the wiretapping bill…

I'm still trying to get my blood pressure under control over last week's House FISA vote that gives telecom companies immunity for illegal acts. The focus of my anger is not on Republicans. Republicans have shown themselves reliable enemies of civil liberties and everyone expects them to protect…
Excellent news!
You are the harbinger of good news! You just made my day! :D
Happy monkey.
You hate academic freedom? And Jesus? And America?
HAPPY MONKEY!!!
Great news!
All praise the Global Darwinist Conspiracyâ¢!!!
In celebration, here is Ben Stein's character getting killed and vivisected on an episode of Tales from the Crypt. Seriously - fast forward to 3:05. Note the name of the cadaver, too.
Ah, I liked him better as a game show host.
Congratulations to you and OK.
BTW That Irish fella John Lynch packs one HELL of a punch! Maybe you could ask him for a picture wearing a cape? :)
I think we need to raise some money to send him to a few more states though - I am sure he'll like Mardi Gras. Suck on that Gov Jindal.
See my comment on John Lynch's blog for a little more detail on this defeat (so far) of SB 320.
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
Happeh Monkeh!
HAPPY MONKEY TO ALL!!!
Big win for the good guys.
Congrats to all.
Thank you, thank you, all!
Yes, the Darwinian Pressure Group, Delta Pi Gamma, takes full credit for the defeat of
SB 320. We threatened to withhold funding for Doc Bill's Stadium and Tire Emporium there in Norman, a multi-million dollar project that would keep hundreds of creationists in 3.2 beer for a decade. Now, the project will continue, contingent on earmark money from the Stimulus Package.
We'll be awaiting our check so we can proceed with the groundbreaking ceremony.
Re Daniel
Joshua of Nazareth doesn't appreciate fucking assholes like Mr. Daniel.
It certainly helped that one of the Republicans in that committee was the former president of Oklahoma State University.
Watch out for goram fraking amendments that some smegheads might add to some other bills.
Why has no one challenged the Louisiana version yet in court?
Maybe ID creationism can get its final legal Waterloo in Louisiana just like YECs did two decades ago.
SLC, I'm pretty sure Daniel was joking...
Here is Vic's comment over at my place.
Congratulations to the rational minority in Okla-by-god-homa!
I live in Texas, where our state board of education chairman is an idiot, and where our governor is likewise a complete dumbass. I feel your pain, but tonight I feel your happiness that there is a faint glimmer of hope in that corridor of ignorance and stupidity known as the bible belt.
*Golf clap*

It wasn't amended to include parts of the academic fraud bill, was it? And didn't Gov. Henry veto this bill last time?
