Question for Camille

Camille, I have long been an admirer and often agree, but when someone, of either sex, says they "believe" in intelligent design and not evolution, how can they possibly be taken seriously? They are exhibiting willful ignorance in the face of facts, and are fit to lead nothing more than a sunday school class.

Kudos to Mr. Hoyle

This guy gets it. I may be rare, a white intellectual who has lived in south and west working class settings. But most journalists have a blind spot for how deeply racist, under educated, and anti-intellectual this country is. Sarah Palin gives them an excuse to vote for McCain that lets them continue their self delusion of not being prejudiced like their parents. For these folks, if they don't hear it on Fox News or talk radio, they don't hear it.
