This Book Title Confuses Me

I always thought we were trying to take the party back from people like Carville and Begala.

Cindy Sheehan Was Arrested Tonight

Update: Charges to be dropped (Oops, she wasn't breaking the law! Yet!)

Update: Read Cindy's version in her Daily Kos diary.

Why are they so afraid of Cindy?

Update:

"The T-shirt bore the words
“2,245 Dead — How Many More??”
in reference to the number
of U.S. troops killed in Iraq,
protesters told NBC News."

Okay, here's the real crime!

2,245 Dead

Here's a closer view of the offending shirt. This is an earlier picture. Three more died between pictures.

A Little Break From Politics

Of course, sometimes politics and heartbreak go hand in hand...

Cafe Press had a little Anti-Valentines contest going on, so I figured I'd play around with a few designs:








The next one could probably be useful year 'round:

Two Americas

John Edwards was fond of describing "Two Americas." I think there are at least two Americas, although there are likely many more than two. (In fact, my America is a whole lot different from John Edwards' America.)

One divide is probably between those who believe in evolution and those who don't.


The issue of teaching about evolution in the school curriculum was debated in the trial of John Scopes in Tennessee. Epperson vs. Arkansas took up the matter again, resulting in a ruling by the United States Supreme Court that Arkansas' prohibition against teaching evolution violated the Establishment Clause of the Second Amendment.



In Edwards v. Aguillard, the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to require "creation science" to be taught every time evolution was taught.

Kansas decided to hold its version of the monkey trial by holding a series of hearings with the Kansas State Board of Education and its State Board Science Hearing Committee

In 2005, in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, the U.S. District Court ruled against the School Board that required the presentation of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution as an "explanation of the origin of life".

Something tells me there is more to come...

Update: Renee in Ohio points to this site that parodies the stickers that the Cobb County School Board in Georgia required on biology textbooks, until a Federal judge declared them to be unconstitutional (PDF) in May of 2005. There's more on that at Daily Kos and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Free subscription required).

Some bible disclaimer stickers are also enjoying distribution.
