Obama’s speech

Best title of the year

Yeah, I know, it’s January 4^th. Still – I love this title from David Swanson at Democrats.com:

Why Can’t Scientists Be Fair to Huckabee, the Mentally Challenged, the Insane, and Hardcore Christians?

On one hand, Huckabee’s victory in Iowa makes a certain amount of sense – vote for the most viable non-Romney candidate.  And, of course, the majority of Iowa Republican voters were fundagelicals.  But it’s still disturbing that an evolution denialist is at the front of the pack for the Republican nomination.

Big picture
