12 counties have now passed anti-science resolutions:

Wait a minute. Did I read that right? Eleven other counties passed anti-evolution resolutions? How in the world did that escape any real public notice until now? I’m only aware of three right now. I can understand a few school boards hiding in the shadows and only attracting the attention of their little weekly newspapers. But 12 total? TWELVE?! And here I was feeling so clever for discovering one by poking around in search engines. I feel silly now.

Please, if you live in Florida, contact your school board and let them know how you feel. These sneaky devils are going to quietly get their dogma imposed on the students, since, like roaches, the light of day causes them problems. Let’s put a condom on America’s Wang!

From Pharyngula

VicariousVICARIOUS

Eye on the t.v cuz tragedy thrills me.
Whatever flavor it happens to be.
(like)
Killed by the husband…
drowned by the ocean…
Shot by his own son…
she used a poison in his tea, Then she kissed him goodbye.
That’s My kinda story
It’s no fun till someone dies.

Don’t look at me like I am a monster.
Frown out your one face but with the other you
Stare like a junkie into the t.v.
Stare like a zombie
while the mother holds her child. Watches him die.
Hands to the sky, cryin’ “why, oh why?”

Cuz I need to watch things die, from a distance.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
You all need it too don’t lie.

Why can’t we just admit it?
We won’t give pause till the blood is flowing.
Neither the brave nor bold nor brightest of stories told,
We won’t give pause till the blood is flowing.

i need to watch things die, from a good safe distance.
Vicariously, i live while the whole world dies.
you all feel the same so why can’t we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down. Drum on grave and ground.
Part Vampire, Part warrior, Carnivore, and Voyeur
Stare at the transmittal. Sing to the death rattle

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn’t have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it’s always been.

We all feed on tragedy. It’s like Blood to a vampire.
vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
Much better you than i.
