THIS speaks for itself (and it did make me laugh)

Ignorance Is Bliss; Sometimes It's Policy

The ranch at Crawford hardly compares with the Forbidden City, but George
W. Bush has something in common with the Ming emperors of China: He seems
determined to make his great nation less ambitious and more
ignorant...........
.....I guess it's a general rule of political dynasties, in China as well
as in Texas, that the blood thins with successive
generations...............
....Then there's this administration's almost comical insistence that the
firm scientific consensus on global climate change is some kind of mass
hallucination. "What global warming?" they ask, as mean temperatures rise,
Arctic ice melts, tropical diseases march north and hurricanes rake poor Florida
in swarms...............
....To round out the trifecta, the other day Bush reiterated his support
for teaching "intelligent design" in America's schools along with evolution, as
a way of exposing students to different points of view. This really borders on
madness.
Intelligent design isn't a scientific theory at all; it's a matter
of faith -- Creationism 2.0. Faith is a different kind of truth. Charles
Darwin's landmark discovery of evolution, with a few minor modifications and
additions over the years, has proved to be one of the sturdiest and most
unassailable scientific theories of all time. ............
