Let's Play "Lose Ben Stein's Movie!"

(cross-posted at Liza's suggestion, from Cocking a Snook!)

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Whether or not you ever watched his game show, if you're a Thinking Parent you probably know that the anti-science, anti-human sophistry of Ben Stein is now a movie called "Expelled", on its tightly controlled private propaganda tour prior to its actual "public" opening in the US April 18.

Words to live by In the Beltwayâ€™s eyes, Markos leads a movement of progressives in the blogosphere. But this is inaccurate, and Markos would be the first to tell you so. Markos doesnâ€™t lead the movement. He stands in front of it and is symbolic of it, but the movementâ€™s direction and interests flow directly from the people who compose it. The movement is a bottom-up thing, not something that a guy leads from the top. Itâ€™s probably comforting for Democratic politicians to believe that Markos leads the movement in the progressive blogosphere. That being the case, all they have to do is soothe the savage breasts of Markos and other rabble-rousing bloggers and then get back to business as usual. Thatâ€™s why Democratic politicians are so unfailingly solicitous of the liberal bloggers. — Dean Barnett at Hugh Hewitt blog : What Mort Doesn't Know Subscribe Buttons
