Oh Ye Of Little Faith
The city of Dover in Pennsylvania has now mandated that all biology teachers should teach intelligent design (Christian creationism in drag) as fact. I’ve never really understood why fundies are so eager to get ID or creationism “taught” as fact. Like, if they believe that the world is run by God, or gods, or the big pink fluffy bunny who lives in their shoes, then why isn’t their faith in that belief strong enough to sustain them? Why must they seek to dictate their beliefs on others as inflexible ideologies? The only answer that makes sense is that their faith is paper-thin, not very strong at all, and requires constant reassurance and peer-support. See no evil, hear no evil, that sort of thing. That’s a pretty poor sort of faith.

The PETA thing is a front group funded by the right-wing nutjobs at the Center for Consumer Freedom, a shadowy letter-box organisation funded largely by alcohol and tobacco company donations.
CCF spokesman John Doyle responded to questions about nationwide radio ads put out by the group. He said the ads were meant to attract people to their website and “draw attention to our enemies: just about every consumer and environmental group, chef, legislator or doctor who raises objections to things like pesticide use, genetic engineering of crops or antibiotic use in beef and poultry.”
