Silly rabbit, Copernicus is for Jews!
February 18th, 2007
So as you know, last Friday didn’t start out well for me, confronted as I was with the fact that over half the population of my country thinks Fred Flintstones really existed.
Still, there was something kinda funny about it - I mean, these are probably the same people who believe scientists have drilled a hole to Hell in Siberia and that calico cats are a sign of the devil.
Unfortunately, my comic relief didn’t last long. I just had to keep surfing until I found this at ACS Blog:
A memo being distributed by conservative Georgia and Texas legislators argues that teaching “evolution science” is unconstitutional because the Theory of Evolution originates in an 2000 year-old but newly-rediscovered Jewish conspiracy.
For two days, I have tried to laugh about this one, too. But it ain’t happenin’.
In case you missed it, these are our elected officials in government disseminating this stuff. As in, the people who run our country. Like, right now. Fucking hell.
Call me sensitive, but the last politician who talked shit about Jews ended up murdering millions of them.
The memo references The Fair Education Foundation, an organization which also says the idea that the earth revolves around the sun is a big fat Kabbalistic lie.
God had a much simpler design, theorizes their site:
“Levitating Globe: An electromagnet and computerized sensor hidden in its display stand cause the Earth to levitate motionlessly in the air.”
Could God have engineered something like that for the real Earth?
OK, maybe this is getting kinda funny.
“Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn’t misuse it”

I’m speechless. It’s all so asinine -and yet, strangely appropriate coming from the land of steers and queers.
For once,I am speechless. The geek in me wants to know how that giant magnet that is suspending the earth is not deleting my hard drive. eh eh eh?;)
It is hard to believe that in this day and age there are still people who do not know that the earth is on the back of a turtle, which stands on four elephants. There are some who claim the elephants are standing on another turtle, who is standing on a turtle - and in fact, they claim it is “turtles all the way down.”
