Putting the Ass in Texas...

This is Don McLeroy, the dentist-cum-Chairman of the Texas State Board of Education, and he's belching out some Grade-A, Texas-sized insanity.

Yeppers, folks. "Stand up to the experts."

In fact, when you get on a plane, go into the cabin and stand up to the experts who have all that science and knowledge and know-how on how to fly the fucking plane and tell them that you want to fly the thing yourself.

Or, when your incisor explodes and you need to have it repaired, stand up to the experts and fix the thing because dentists, with all their years of education and practice aren't worth a piss.

Stand up to the experts!

Creationists are among the most-dishonest people on the freakin' planet, and idiots like this joker in Texas are the ones squawking about teaching your children the "science" of a world not even remotely scrutinized by actual science, but fueled by a two-thousand year old fairy tale and dogma that resembles something out of a Flintstones episode more than, you know, actual freakin' science by those pesky experts in their fields and their years of study and research and evidence.

God damn these imbeciles.

Now, I agree with Phil Plait that we can be thankful that the First Amendment remains largely in tact contrary to what this Bible-thumping dentist would demand. America does not need to be a theocracy. In fact, I can't imagine the horrors of a world where the planet's most powerful nation becomes one. And, quite simply, the world does not need another god-soaked nightmare.

Anyway, as always, PZ Myers has considerably more. Thankfully, he has the ability to keep his emotions largely in check when it comes to these window-lickers and their 6,000 year-old planet earth. I don't have the patience for god-slurping nimrods bent on brainwashing America's youth with an archaic (and scientifically impotent) myth about a two-thousand year old piece of Israeli yard art.

Oh, and Texas? You're going to let a freakin' dentist tell you what your kids should be learning? Really?!?
