De-evolving

I swear that this whole intelligent design scandal is taking years off my life. Most recently there is this quote in the NY Times from the vice president of the Discovery Institute, the puppetmasters behind it all:

"All ideas go through three stages - first they're ignored, then they're attacked, then they're accepted," said Jay W. Richards, a philosopher and the institute's vice president. "We're kind of beyond the ignored stage. We're somewhere in the attack."

I mean, WHAT...the...hell?? ALL ideas? So all ideas are accepted? All of them? What you're suggesting, sir, is the unfolding of ideas as they are presented by Emmanuel Goldstein, perhaps.

Hey, I've got an idea, let's cut off Jay W. Richard's toes and force feed them to him.

And I don't know WHERE he gets off thinking he's a philosopher? More like a bastard.
