Scopes Would Be Pissed

80 years after he went on trial for teaching evolution, John Scopes’ battle is being fought again in Kansas:

Eighty years after the first famed “Monkey Trial,” a second one was under way Thursday in Kansas, giving critics of evolution a forum for attacking the theory.

A State Board of Education subcommittee began four days of trial-like hearings on evolution, and witnesses were advocates of intelligent design, critics of evolution or both.

The entire board plans to consider changes in June to standards that determine how Kansas students are tested on science.

Continued Radio Silence

I still can’t seem to find anything I want to blog about. This is probably related to the fact that 1) I’m in the pre-finals end of semeter rush and 2) I have no idea what I am going to do this summer. I was really hoping I’d be able to land a job that was a little more useful to my long-term career plans than making Frappuccinos at Starbucks all summer but nothing has panned out.

In short, I’m tired, I’m overworked, and I’m bummed about my lack of a decent summer job. It’s hard to find stuff to blog about when I’m in a mood like that. Bear with me.
