State legislature anti-science follies

It's the beginning of another year and that means that a state legislator or two (and probably closer to you than you'd like) is courting the wingnut vote through proposing "education" bills that attack the theory of evolution, anthropogenic global warming or both. Unsurprisingly, new bills are being proposed in both Oklahoma and Missouri, but it seems that the best (read: worst) efforts of a like-minded panderer in Indiana may be going nowhere fast judging by the adverse publicity it's starting to pick up.
