Evolution Denied
Cautionary note to contrarian lefties; spend too long in bed with the conservative right and your grip on science will slip. From a short rant by Graham at Harry's:
I reckon that some of the slimey boneless creatures currently infesting the British left evolved from amphibians myself.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we all....?
"Leftism is a sickness of the mind which intellectual fashionistas proudly display, rather like the way poseurs of an earlier generation thought consumption romantic."
Good call; very good call.
ReplyDeleteThere have been significant advances in cane toad evolution since the libs have got into power.
ReplyDeleteI leave you to ponder that thought...
Worse, we're descended from amphibians!!
