*sigh* The Latest Bullshit from Kansas

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster appeals to the Kansas School Board for equal time for their theory of intelligent design. Involves a graph of global warming's inverse relationship with the number of pirates.

Also, this makes me sad:( More crazy Blue Valley parents want to ban books. It's not enough to undermine science, now they're going after literature!

Finally, I wrote a letter to Russ Kokoruda condemning their effort. His response below:

Elizabeth, it is great to hear from you. Great message. I will make sure it gets passed on to the right people. It sounds like things are going well for you. You should be very proud. Thanks for caring so much. Continued success in whatever you do. Dr. K

Dr. Russell J Kokoruda
Executive Director of School Administration

I can't decide if he's really being nice or just saying "okay, shut up Elizabeth, nobody cares what you have to say."

The graphic at the top of this post is from this cool website--my new favorite source for T-Shirts you don't really need with witty comments on them that seem funny now, but everyone gets sick of after a couple of weeks. I found a shirt for my nephew that says "The Dude Abides."

For hope that some people are still getting it right in Kansas, check out my minister Thom Belote's blog for more info on Kansans for Responsible Sex Education. If you like what they're about, sign their petition.
