Andi said it best this morning. Bush = Boo. I have to give props where they are due.
Bush endorses teaching 'intelligent design'
Wasn’t it a religious legal mandate that made the pilgrims flee England for the US in the first place? Where do we go now? I asked hubby if we could move to Canada – he said no, because Canada won’t let him in on a count of some legal troubles he had several years ago. Mexico?
So, let me get this straight we uphold all of the Bill of Rights except for the one about
wait, what does it say again?
Hmmmm, something about – oh yeah, here it is. . .
“Amendment I, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. . .” People, watch out for the rest of your unalienable rights, especially those of you who celebrate a religion other than Christianity.
If I were a Christian parent, I would be PISSED that the government was mandating that a teacher explain the bible to my children. That is a parent’s job, that is the preacher, pastor, father, or other’s job. It is certainly not our teachers jobs – frankly, they don’t get paid enough for that bs. If they want teachers talking about how we are all apples from the same big apple tree – send your kids to private school. This might be a little unpopular, but vouchers anyone?
One of my spiritual guides sent this to me today and I liked it so I thought I would share. “I'm thinking of changing the name of evolution to the "don't marry your cousin" theory, just so that it is more palatable and understandable to "intelligent design" masses.” She is so smart.
Someone told me that we at the Red Basement sounded a little angry – so to inject some humor and joy into an otherwise bitter rant, here is what I found on the Internet while searching for something completely different. By the way, I am quite positive that I have broken both of these laws.
Laws that are still in the books in Montana: Bozeman, Montana, has a law that bans all sexual activity between members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown- if they're nude. (Apparently, if you wear socks, you're safe from the law!) Another law in Helena, Montana, mandates that a woman can't dance on a table in a saloon or bar unless she has on at least three pounds, two ounces of clothing.

Hey ladies! Great blog. I like the name Red Basement. And, why can't we be angry? It happens to the best of us, even (gasp) MEN. Plus there are all kinds of things to get upset and angry about.
I agree. And while I'm currently not paying too much attention to the news in order to "reduce stress" for health reasons, it's so good to know MT is in the capable hands of women who really put it out there (especially in the yard - after dark).
JM - that is a great idea. I will cut out the news entirely just to reduce stress - cuz I need it!
