I can't stop staring at this, via The Daily Howler. Larry King, on CNN last night:
KING: All right, hold on. Dr. Forrest, your concept of how can you out-and-out turn down creationism, since if evolution is true, why are there still monkeys?

If Creationism is true, why were people created so blindingly stupid?

And why do we keep electing them President?

It looks like I'm too late to this party to make the obvious joke.

While King deserved to be laughed at, I kind of wish the interviewee had answered the question he'd asked, because it deserves to be laid to dismissed. Why is it so hard for people to grasp the concept of apes and monkeys being our cousins? Grr.

your comment reminds me of one of my favirite moments, i was living in NYC and my friend Joelle, an actress, and I were watching her appearance on third watch in my apt.

Joelle: "If Jesus really loves me, why did he let me wear those pants on television?"

Love the actor, hate the pants.

Which also reminds me of a great bumper sticker I saw the other day: "Darwin Loves You".

And that also reminds me of something I've wondering for a while now -- why do so many of the cars I see driving completely recklessly have Fish/Dubya or similar emblems on them?

That makes no sense, and cracks me up.
