The world is a dangerous place to live - not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Well this is one aspect of the Tea Party I don't agree with.

Now that they've won a few seats in DC we'll see if this is a glitch or if there's going to be more.

Some of these tea party advocates make Dan Quayle seem like a genius.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

Disenfranchisement of non-property owners is punishable by summary execution. I'll enforce it.
