An exhibition celebrating the life of Charles Darwin has failed to find a corporate sponsor because American companies are anxious not to take sides in the heated debate between scientists and fundamentalist Christians over the theory of evolution.
In comparison:
...the Creationist Museum near Cincinatti, Ohio, which takes literally the Bible's account of creation, has recently raised $7 million in donations.
Fortunately, wealthy private individuals and charitable organizations have completely funded the Darwin exhibit, but to say that the effect religious conservatives are having on culture and education in the U.S. is chilling would not be hyperbole.

Ed-u-ca--uhhhhh....
That sucking noise you hear is the empty space between Joe American's ears! When you see polls indicating most people think the Press has too much freedom, or they believe the Bible is literal, or they don't believe in douching, you have to wonder what is happening in America. The phrase "slow spiral to Hell" comes to mind.
btw I just want to get your opinion, tng. Should I keep writing "Operation Nativity?" I'm not getting much response from the progressive sector, and even less from the religious crazies. Too me, it's so obviously satire. Maybe I'm just missing the mark. Thoughts? Suggestions? Smart-ass remarks?
Hey gang, that's the great J.R. Kinnard, from the seriously twisted Don't Floss With Tinsel. Go spread some bright, glittery referrer log goodness his way.
Don't know guy. I've got to admit I had a hard time telling if it was parody or not when you linked and quoted NG out of the blue (which, by the way, thanks for the infidel listing). But then, I'm widely considered to be humor impaired. It's dry humor which doesn't seem to be something most people appreciate any more.
I guess I'd keep it up. I mean, it's only about a month until Christmas.
But nobody wanted the word to get out that they were underwriting a Darwin exhibit.
What's wrong with this country? What have we become when you're ashamed to finance Science, but proud to have your name connected with Woo-Woo fairy tale crap?
Round and Round it Goes... Then it falls over.
