Number of Presidential candidates that question Evolution’s role in the development of life on earth: Three (3).一些总统候选人这一问题演变中的作用的发展,地球上的生命: 3 ( 3 ) 。 We are now down to one, Mike Huckabee, since the other two dropped out of the "race".我们现在缩小到了一,赫卡比,因为其他两个辍学的“种族” 。

Is it fair to call someone an idiot for questioning the reality of Evolution?这是公平的要求某人白痴质疑现实的演变? No. People can believe whatever they want to believe.第人们可以相信他们想要相信。 If Mike Huckabee wants to deny the existence of Gravity next, after warming up with Evolution, he is welcome to do so.如果赫卡比想否认存在重力明年之后,气候变暖与演变,我们都欢迎他来这样做。 But these irrational positions automatically disqualify that person from receiving my vote for pretty much any position that requires critical thinking skills, such as, for example, the office of President of the United States of America.但是,这些不合理的职位自动取消该人收到我的投票相当任何位置,需要严谨的思维技能,例如,主席一职的美利坚合众国。

Incidentally, I would not be surprised if Mr. Huckabee carries the Republican Presidential Caucus vote in Iowa tonight.顺便说一句,我不会感到惊讶,如果赫卡先生进行了共和党总统党团投票今晚在爱荷华州。 Which bring me to my next question: What do the US and Turkey have in common?这使我的下一个问题:什么是美国和土耳其的共同? About the same number of adults in both of these countries reject Evolution’s role in the development of life on earth.大约相同数量的成年人在这两个国家拒绝进化中的作用的发展,地球上的生命。

In the US, only 14 percent of adults think that evolution was "definitely true," while about a third firmly rejected the idea.在美国,只有百分之十四的成年人认为,进化是“绝对真实” ,而大约三分之一坚决反对这一想法。 Embarrassing, isn’t it?尴尬,是不是? Well, ok, President Bush is truly a "man of the people" on this one: He seems to think there is some kind of scientific controversy regarding the "Theory of Evolution" and called for the teaching of "Intelligent Design" alongside Evolution in our classrooms.嗯,没关系,布什总统确实是一位“人民”在此一:他似乎认为这是某种形式的科学争议,关于“进化论” 并要求教学的“智能设计”与演变我们的教室。 Please, please go back to clearing shrubs in Texas, dude.请,请回去清理灌木在德克萨斯州,花花公子。 That is your calling.这是您的要求。

I personally support Barrack Obama’s candidacy and predict that he will come out ahead of John Edwards and Hillary Clinton in Iowa’s archaic Caucus spectacle tonight.我个人支持巴拉克奥巴马的人选和预测,他将走出未来的约翰爱德华兹和希拉里克林顿在爱荷华州的古老壮观今晚核心。 Hard to say whether the US is ready for an (almost) black President, but even if Mr. Obama does not make the final cut it seems that anyone must be better than the corrupt and Anti-American Executive leadership gang that is currently in charge of things.很难说美国是否已准备好了(几乎)黑人总统,但即使奥巴马先生没有作出最后的削减,似乎任何人都必须优于腐败与反美国执行领导刚是目前负责事情。 Have a look at this TPM article on scandalized officials of the Bush administration and you get what I’m talking about.看看这个TPM的文章震惊官员对布什政府 ,你会得到什么我谈论。

Do you think that Legalized Torture and Indefinite Detention without Legal Recourse are compatible with American ideals?你认为合法化酷刑和无限期拘留而不诉诸法律符合美国的理想? Our current President seems to.我们的现任总统似乎。
