In running for Governor of Alaska in 2006, GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin said she supported teaching alternatives to evolution. When asked during an election debate, she said:

I am not a fan of beauty pageants, especially after hearing about the preliminary questions in the Miss USA contest. The women were asked if evolution should be taught in US schools. Only two of the 51 contestants could bring themselves to answer yes.

Ignoramus has only one "o".
I love the part where the crowd laughs at "Where in the constitution is the separation of church and state".

Ha!
The banner in the background gives a hint as to the reason for the laughter: the debate was being held at the Widener University School of Law, and the audience is composed almost entirely of law faculty and law students.
Is the Theory of Intelligent Design a theory that is accepted by the scientific community?
So you're saying it's intentional? Ha! indeed! But I don't buy it.
Anyway, on to more important things. Keep up the great blog!

Nope.
What "theory" is that?
"Is the Theory of Intelligent Design a theory that is accepted by the scientific community?"
yes, but as an example of a bad theory.
Don't the stupid and ignorant have a right to proportional representation in our government? LOL They may well get it.
I'm with Ed on this one.
Well, he leaves out "grossly ignorant" in the last sentence, but aside from that, he sums it up pretty well.

It is evident that Ms O'Donnell is thicker then two short planks measured end to end. The appropriate quote here is "She only opens her mouth to change feet".
More importantly, is there any chance she might be elected?
@Jeff Thomerson - see Stephanie Z's answer.
*I* know that's the intention/typical interpretation of the First Amendment - and I'm Canadian.
All I'm saying is people this is a Christian women! And the only reason why you all hate her is not because shes stupid because clearly shes smart but you hate her for her faith in God. Shes trying to tell you Jesus is the Way to Heaven you all don't wanna have Jesus in yoru lives so you hate Christians.
If you hate Christine whose a Christian then you must hate Jesus Christ Himself because she stands for what Jesus stood for. The only reason shes so hated is because demons are trying to push this lady out of office because they know shes gonna make a positive impact on our schools and government in general
Shes a True Christian AND THAT IS WHY SHE IS HATED! BECAUSE SHE STANDS FOR THE MORALS OF GOD = THE BIBLE
/...The only reason shes so hated is because demons are trying to push this lady out of office because they know shes gonna make a positive impact on our schools and government in general...<>
I for one do not hate her, and I do not hate Jesus Christ (haven't met him, actually) and, Ashley, I don't hate you.
I do think you are delusional if you think there are demons trying to influence an election, however. Maybe just a little, but there it is.
Ashley(no 18) claims that we "all hate her is not because shes stupid because clearly shes smart but you hate her for her faith in God. Shes trying to tell you Jesus is the Way to Heaven you all don't wanna have Jesus in yoru(sic) lives so you hate Christians". Utter tosh.
I do not hate Ms O'Donnell, I find her two parts hilarious to one part dopey, and her religion is not a factor, except in as much as it has apparently removed most of her brain cells and/or her critical faculties
Ashley's other issue is that "The only reason(the SECOND only reason?) shes so hated is because demons are trying to push this lady out of office because they know shes gonna make a positive impact on our schools and government in general".
First, pedantically, you cannot have two "only reasons", either grammatically or any other way. Only means one and exclusive.
Second,demons exist only in your fevered brain. Look outside; sorry,no demons.
Third, the imaginary demons cannot "..push this lady out of office.." for the plain and simple reason that she has NEVER been IN office. Every attempt by the vacuum between the ears which is Ms O'Donnell to get into office has been rejected by the voters. This give us some hope that the USA will survive.
An idiot defending another is not a pretty sight.
I dunno, Ashley struck me as a Poe.
But if she isn't, it always amuses me that people like that think that the only qualification one needs for public office is to be a gawd fearin' Christian. No actual knowledge is needed because the Lawd will guide Christine's hand as she proposes and votes on legisation in the Senate.
