Al Gore is my Jesus, my Ghandi, my Buddah, my Allah, my last hope.

Wow. That’s really all I can say about last night’s State of the Union. The president actually said ‘human-animal hybrids should be illegal.” No I’m not hating on the concept right now – although i think that the Christian fear of biotechnology is unfounded – but I wish to explore the absurdity and spectacular time we are living in now.

It was in 1859, one hundred and forty-six years ago next month, that Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, and it’s been under attack ever since.

For years it’s looked like “W” and his henchmen played every card right as if all things were planned on their behalf!

Did you know that the Chief of Staff of the Bush Administration’s Council on Environmental Quality was previously a lobbyist for oil companies???

It could happen!

If you’ve ever wondered why people who are hurt by Bush’s policies still vote for him, or how it is that conservatives have stolen such a mind share in this country, or how we can fight their Orwellian double speak, then pick up George Lakoff’s “Don’t Think of an Elephant”.
