Huntley criticizes the GOP for the conservatives move to push creationism, but then says the following: Teaching intelligent design in a school science lab makes as much sense as having Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species required reading in Sunday school. The statement is just dumb. Evolution and religion aren’t mutually exclusive. Catholics, Episcopalians, Methodists, […]

That is not an option Mr. Governor. Last week, one of Gov. Blagojevich’s best pals told me that the governor would definitely run for a third term. If Lisa doesn’t run, and Dan doesn’t run, and Vallas doesn’t come back, and Devine doesn’t run, I’ll move back and declare. Hell no. Just hell no.

Renaming the Resources Committee to the Natural Resources Committee. Rahall isn’t my first choice amongst Dems, but I think we can say he’ll take up mine safety at least. On top of it, while Young will be ranking minority member—Pombo got tossed–Saxton will be fairly senior and he’s got a decent environmental record. There’ll be […]

I’m generally not thought of as one of the extreme in the netroots—in fact many think I’m too conservative (and Illinois Review calling Fritchey and I full of hate doesn’t count in a reality based discussion) and accepting of the apparatus.
