A mad dog would look more placid

Than some of the rabid science-hating creationists in Dover, Pa.

As Salon reports in “The New Monkey Trial”, a few of these folks, such as new Dover school board member Bill Buckingham.

Clue No. 1 – when a self-described “Goldwater Republican” like former board member Carol “Casey” Brown thinks your mental gears have slipped a few cogs, they very likely have.

Buckingham appears to be a caricature straight out of a Joe McCarthy 1950s script, worrying how evolution has led to immorality, and so on.

If you haven’t been worried about the religious right, or should I say far right, you should now.
