Bad PR for PR

I usually ignore Pat Robertson, but his ravings are sometimes so imaginative I feel I have to comment.

In last Tuesday's elections, the citizens of Dover, Pennsylvania voted out all eight school board members who had tried to introduce "intelligent design" into their science courses. I say great, but Pat had a fit.

Different people have a different view of their deity, but Pat's won't put up with even minor irritations. According to Pat, He's "loving and tolerant, but we can't keep sticking our finger in His eye forever. If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them."

Pat, it's called science, and it works pretty well. Next time you fly, do it in a plane not built along the principles of physics, and see if you can stay aloft on prayer alone.
