Dough-faced hick with a five head.

The above state rep is proposing legislation in Kentucky that will actively make Kentucky -- a state we can all agree isn't populating the nation with nobel-prize-winners as it is -- even dumber.

The United States is a unique place where a frighteningly large amount of our elected officials actively oppose scientific progress and knowledge. The slack jawed idiot above wants to expand the fight against knowledge to include not only evolution but also climate change. This whole current is something I just don't understand. As the rest of the world surges forward, America is biting, kicking and scratching at the idea of thinking. Rather than having our schools controlled by actual scholars, they are tweaked by local politicians who answer to counties of TVdinner idiots.

As far as legislation like this is concerned, it isn't a problem as long as none of the cretins it produces ever come into positions of leadership or authority. Luckily genetics and schooling isoloate most people who think like this from a position of influence -- but scarily, enough of them -- tons of them -- squirm through the cracks into relative success and influence. Not to hearken back to that incredible Luke Wilson movie that Comedy Central almost never plays, but things like this are a scary misstep in the wrong direction.
