victory in Ohio!

The Ohio Board of Education votes 11-4 to bar "intelligent design" from its school classrooms.  According to the Campaign to Defend the Constitution, the Board received some 30,000 emails protesting the inclusion of ID in science curriculums.  Ohio Citizens for Science also worked with Americans United for the Separation of Church and State to reverse the standard.

Maybe I'm an idiot for not having faith in Ohioans.  We still have to hear from the Religious Right in Ohio, though -- that would be those people who complain they just want "a voice in the public square," when what they mean is that they want the only voice in the public square.

Triplet 2
Alec Mento's *Penny Rants* books chronicle recent American politics, but with an improbable optimism and (per Kirkus Reviews) an "acerbic flair" and "a talent for distilling complex ideas into quickly digestible parts." And you can only get these books at Blunt Instruments; click the photo above (or type blunteye.com into your browser) to get them!
