The story about Kenyan religious leaders who are attempting to stifle evolutionary biology at the Kenyan National Museum is making the rounds of the progressive political blogs (interesting, how the right-wing blogs aren't covering this...).

No bacterial resistance known :-)
Perhaps we should invade Kenya and bring them OUR kind of education and democracy!
Or maybe the UN could do it.
I say, send troops NOW!
