It's too bad about those students who come to a university knowing nothing about evolutionary biology because their high school teachers were incompetent and/or intimidated by Christian thugs. The obvious solution is somehow rid the world of all religions.
I listen to this podcast Monday morning. That way Monday is something I look forward to. PZ, you were great the last time you were on, can't wait to hear this one.
Can't wait for my Sunday jog with the iPod. I am tempted to listen to it now, but I will need a voice of reason as I jog through my fundamentalist, conservative town.
I'm in Michigan, and this morning I jogged past several signs in yards saying, "Vote No on 2" and "2goes2far". These were amoung other signs in ultra-religious lawns like, "Pray to End Abortion".
Proposal 2 is aimed at supporting stem cell research here in Michigan.
In a perfect world all creationist retards would buy this book, read it, understand it, and then throw out their childish fantasy world. Of course that will never happen. Creationists have absolutely no interest in educating themselves.
When was this?
Yay! I love SGU. I bet Rebecca Watson said something extra snarky about Crackergate.

The discussion of sociopathy and leadership reminded me of the study I linked to in the comments here (reverse the causation ;)):

Vote YESSSSS on Proposal 2 !!!!
What is the name of the book PZ referred to on the podcast?
It's The Counter-Creationism Handbook, by Mark Isaak. It's at the TalkOrigins link I provided @ #8.
Nice work there PZ. That book sounds pretty cool, I should track it down sometime.
I became aware of this blog through SGU. Looking forward to listening to this one.
Amazon sells it: The Counter-Creationism Handbook
