Argento in YDR

http://ydr.com/story/doverbiology/91282/

Mike Argento has been covering the Dover trial for the
York Daily Record and has written some excellent
articles. This one discusses the testimony by Fuller.

 Fuller said intelligent design is, essentially, a
half-baked idea, pretty much something the intelligent
design guys have whipped up without doing much in the
way of producing evidence.

And that's why it should be taught to ninth-graders in
Dover.

You know, I can come up with a lot of half-baked ideas
that no one in their right mind would want to teach to
kids in Dover. Let's see. How about this? Cows think
in Spanish. Discuss.

Anyway, Fuller said intelligent design "needed to be
mainstreamed," which I guess is a polite way of saying
that in its current embryological state, it rides the
short bus of science. (I apologize for that comment.
But if you think that was bad, I could have come up
with worse.)

And in another bit of testimony, he said intelligent
design needed "affirmative action."
