I thought that was a really interesting article right up until the last three paragraphs. A couple of those were unnecessarily offensive and I believe factually incorrect. The writer seemed to go off on a tangent just to grind some political and ideological axes, and it started to remind me of some of my old college professors who just couldn't stick to the darn subject either.

He engages in bashing Bush and labels him and all those who voted for him as being "anti-rational" and therefore anti-science. Hasty conclusion there, pal, and it's based on misrepresentations of Bush's policies and seems like an attack on anyone who believes in God or a higher power. Just because you might not want evolution taught in the classroom or you don't want your tax dollars going to unrestricted embryonic research, it doesn't follow that you wouldn't want your child to become an engineer or to engage in any of a multitude of other scientific studies or endeavors. People of faith love science, too. Some of them have even been known to build monstrous, metal crunching robots. Woot!
