Evolutionary Biology is no longer an acceptable major for people who get federal grants, due to a “clerical error.”

Good news for those who don’t like abortions, and don’t listen to the all-girl band, The cantabortemfastenoughs (.com\forreals).

Yes, it’s the actual title of the article. And nothing sums it up better than the last lines:

Manger also points to the tuna industry, which under consumer pressure has gone to great lengths to prevent dolphins from being caught and killed by accident in nets.

“If they were really intelligent, they would just jump over the net because it doesn’t come out of the water,” he said.

A little foot in the mouth:

It’s always nice when politicians have military experience. And John McCain should be applauded for his–though there is some controversy over whether or not he was a little too cooperative with the guards in the Vietnamese prison camp. But, more to the point, politicians should not be judged solely on whether or not they’ve had military experience. What their positions are on issues and who influences them matter a great deal more and despite media portrayal, John McCain totally blows on the issues.

John McCain wants to outlaw abortions, he doesn’t want the minimum wage increase, he’s a staunch supporter of the death penalty, John McCain wants the Ten Commandments on display at public schools, He’ll only fund the abstinence only sex education that study after study has shown doesn’t work, He wants to privatize social security, He’s supports redirecting public education funds to voucher programs, His support for sound fiscal policy has taken a back seat to securing tax cuts for the rich, He supports the Patriot Act provisions that abridge constitutional civil liberties, he voted no on reducing oil usage by 40% by 2025, and he supports allowing religious facilities run state welfare programs.

So while McCain has been painted by the media as a moderate and while he’s certainly not the most conservative paleo-republican ever–He’s still a Republican. He’s still irresponsible. And he would still make a bad President.
