Don't remind me
Well I think that it's just, and science is more and more documenting this, is that there are real "chinks" in the armor of evolution being the only way we came about. The idea of there being a, you know, a little mud hole and two mosquitoes get together and the next thing you know you have a human being... is completely at odds with, you know, one of the laws of thermodynamics which is the law of, of ... in essence, destruction.
-Governor Mark Sanford of Carolina
I'm getting really tired of the "evolution violates the laws of thermodynamics" argument.....
I'm still being attacked by a snot monster, from inside the redoubt of my sinuses, but at least my Gmail is back.
I watched TDS this morning, before I went back to bed, and Bezos held his own with Stewart, even if there's an obvious problem with a $349 device that sells intangible books at $10 a shot.
megan, just out of curiosity, what does your roommate do? I'm looking for a career change anyway, so if there's one that comes with free Kindles, I should consider it.
two mosquitoes get together and the next thing you know you have a human being...
...several hundred million years later.

I wonder what science he is talking about. The fossil evidence is really good, but the newer DNA and molecular biology evidence is incredible.

Sanford Offers Unemployed South Carolina Resident ‘Prayers’ Instead Of Stimulus Funds
Following the lead of a number of his fellow Republican governors, Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) has given some indication that he will not accept some of the money slated for South Carolina in the $787 billion economic recovery bill President Obama signed into law last week. “At times it sounds like the Soviet grain quotas of Stalin’s time,” Sanford said yesterday on Fox News.
On C-SPAN’s Washington Journal this morning, Sanford received a call from a Charleston resident who said he lost his job because he has been taking care of mother and sister, both of whom have serious illnesses. The caller told Sanford he is “wrong” to decline the money. “A lot of people in South Carolina are hurting. And if this money can come and help us out we need it.” In response, Sanford could offer him only his prayers:
CALLER: I hope you all are not playing politics with this. People in South Carolina are hurting. You know how unemployment rates are high right now and going up higher. We are running out of money in the unemployment bank — we need money for that, the people that need help. And I’m one of them, I can’t get no help. […]
SANFORD: Well I’d say hello to Charleston because its home and I’d say hello to this fellow this morning and say that my prayers are going to be with him and his family because it sounds like he is in an awfully tough spot.
eta:
Sanford offered no other alternative solution for his constituent and instead argued that the state could not accept money to extend unemployment benefits because “increasing the tax on unemployment insurance” would negatively “impact the caller’s family” (although he didn’t say how).
So prayer can replace money. Awesome! (Because if money comes from a Democratic president, it's communistic.)
To be fair to Sanford, there is a bit of a poison pill in the federal funds for extended unemployment benefits. I believe it mandates enacting permanent legislation for extended benefits past the point at which the federal government provides funds.
