Tide Turning in Evolution Debate

One of the most heated theaters of battle in the Culture Wars has been Evolution vs. Intelligent Design/Crazy Invisible Man Science-ish Stuff. Conservatives in Texas have lost a fight to include critiques of evolution in school curriculum.

from the Austin News:

The Texas vote on evolution was in the crosshairs of both state and national media this week because textbook publishers cater to Texas because of its high-volume purchases. If Texas chose to make significant changes to the science standards, other states would likely be forced to follow suit. The standards, once approved on final reading in March, will stand for 10 years.

Is this a fringe benefit of President Obamas' ascendancy? Signal of a change in the tide? The death knell for the Religious Fanatic control of America and its' society? Maybe me overreacting to common sense prevailing finally? Who knows?

This edition of Troyvision has a little bit of everything. Failed pole dancing, stampeding dolphins, Robocop rap, kittens on a slide, kazoos, botnets, Darth Vader, bean burritos, blast knuckles and weird dresses.

What more could you want?

Denise Juneau and Montana Becoming Less Backward

I'm buying into the hype. At New West, I have a new blog post up discussing the recent swearing in of Denise Juneau. There's been a lot of talk about a New Day for Native Americans and Montana, and I'm drinking the kool-aid on this one. Mostly because it's a good thing, but I think you can read the post to get that idea.
