“At this point, SB member Ken Mercer told Patton that he has the greatest respect for him and his accomplishments.”

Patton is the dumbest of the dumbest of creationists. I’m talkin Paluxy tracks, “Left Behind”, and plastic preacher hair dumb. If Ken Mercer has the greatest respect for Mr. Plastic Preacher Hair, then Ken Mercer is one dumb gullible SBOE member.

There were a lot of pro-science speakers. It was excruciating to listen to the creationists on the board asking witnesses leading questions so as to try and get the creation premis stated in the record during every comment. There were plenty wakos there too. The board is supposed to vote on the issue later this week. They will most likely vote on the matter twice. Once when the full board is present then again after two of the pro-science members leave and at least one of them will be unable to vote.

The recording of the meeting will be available on line later at: http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/sboe/audio_archived.html

Schafersman blogged the hearing.

Where can I sign up to The Herpetologists’ League

Ask at your local herpes clinic.

Oh, the old ones, they’re… old.
