Expelled Exposed
I am flabbergasted that someone like Ben Stein, a man who actually had a game show built around how nobody was smarter than him, would become an apologist for the anti-evolutionists aka Intelligent Design movement. His membership in Mensa should be revoked immediately for the offensive anti-science, let's pander to the extreme right narrative of the pseudo-documentary, Ben Stein is Expelled : No intelligence Allowed.
Well, when PZ Meyers, my favorite science blogger, demands we join his minions and spread the word of a counter documentary for ID propaganda, am all over it. Sit back and pass the popcorn, it's time for Expelled Exposed.

Bless your heart, you make me feel all warm and gooshy inside. . . ;-)
Btw Liza, you might want to link a post from here on occasion, to the new Evolved Thinking Homeschoolers wiki bi-weekly sorta-blogswarm experiment? We did taxes yesterday (April 15 of course) and next (April 30) we'll be doing National SpankOut Day combined with the National Day of Prayer-Reason (May 1). Then for May 15 it'll be more lighthearted, a creative writing prompt of some kind, I'm told.
The main point is visibly and for our own sanity, to break out of the usual fundamentalist-dominated homeschool presence online and celebrate SCIENCE and REASON and PROGRESS and CULTURAL BIODIVERSITY. Not to mention furthering the cross-pollination of ideas across borders.
You know most of the players already from the bad old days on homeschooling elists, I think? Come play!
Lose Ben Stein's Movie!
"Let's Play Lose Ben's Stein's Movie!"
It's my sad duty to note that the "Evolution Academic Freedom Bill" -- a sly lie in every possible respect including how it's being represented in debate -- is moving through my state legislature even as we speak, after good old Ben came here with his persecution complex and secret-chamber sneak preview for Florida's lawmakers, staff and families.
So posts on this are of particular interest here, now, and very real, not academic!
Passing the popcorn and the word in turn . . .
