Intelligent Design

Senator Bill Frist, attempting to get back into the good graces of the zealotry after withdrawing his support for the sanctity of stem cells, is proposing that intelligent design be taught in the public schools.

For those unhip, "intelligent design" is theocratspeak for "creationism." By using the word "intelligent," the theory instantly becomes . . . intelligent.

Folly suggests that the Flat Earth Society also come up a cool new name for their theory, in order to make it more scientifically valid as well.
