I’ve been quiet the past few days, primarily because I’m all nervous about the upcoming launch of Expelled - I’ve realized it’s going to be the Waterloo that Dembski predicted eight years ago. Hah! Not really. The simplistic history in the movie (ignoring all other factors including Christianity in "explaining" the rise of Nazi eugenics), the "framing" and lies of the producers & promoters, and the plagiarism from, not one, but two sources will spell doom for this dreck, at least within the mainstream.
Real reason for the silence is that grading has started again and we’re into the last weeks of the semester. Episodic silence is to be expected until late next week.

The endless Leroy Jenkins moments leading up to the release of the movie are about the only nerve-wreaking thing about the movie. There are actually people in the world this stupid? Wow.
In other news, Premise Media has decided to file a suit against Expelled. See PZ's blog for details.

Erm, that latter entity should be "XVIVO"...
I like better the first way you put it, Tyler--it fits well with the foot-bulleting, own-goal methods that have been demonstrated to date.
Err, like IT better, I meant...
