I hope you meant to add “aside from inspiring Don’t Let Me Down” but were typing too quickly.

It’s very funny that they would use a song that’s very critical of religion in order to promote a religious viewpoint. I know it’s a clich? to say this, but “No Intelligence Allowed” is certainly a fitting subtitle.

They're asking if ID should be taught in the educational system. This morning it was 3:1 in favor of yes. Now it's WAY overloaded on the NO side, thanks to PZ Myers bringing it to the attention of his Pharyngulites. Thought maybe some folks here might wanna play.<br /> <br /> http://www.myspace.com/expelledthemovement For a bit of silly fun, go to this site and screw with the poll.

However, I am not going to spend money on it. I will wait until I can see it for free on cable. jcc
