Louisiana still doomed...

It's sad that the first post of this blog has to be a result of anger.  Once again, politicians who are viewed as agents of change, vowing to fix the system, fail us.  I'm speaking of course of the beloved 'Bobby' Jindal.  He certainly seemed like an intelligent and level-headed person when he spoke at St Paul's, but now it's obvious that he's just another religious nutter.  In an interview today in 'Face the Nation' on CBSNews (here) , the governor says that 'Intelligent Design' and Evolution should be given equal treatment. 

This is beyond terrible.  He acts, like the other ID crazies do, as if somehow ID and evolution are on the same footing.  I can't believe a person who has a biology degree can possibly not fully ascribe to evolution.  The fact is that evolution is based on mountains of evidence, both fossil and experimental, while intelligent design has nothing.  Their only attacks are culturally and politically based, they do not support science, only religion, which has no place in schools, and intelligent discussion for that matter.
