Rock the vote, say what?

The primaries were here yesterday. Hillary beat Obama by approx. 100,000 votes here in Texas (51%-47%). Pretty slim margin. It's rather unfortunate that the set-up is winner-takes-all. (except for the super delegates, of course)

The primary was also interesting because I have been hearing about how quite a few Texas Democrats went over and voted in the Republican primary. Why, you ask? Well, this year is also a school board election year. This means that the future of our children is to be decided by whatever crazy politicians are elected to the school board. And let me tell you, I am not understating the crazy here. The links send you to the PUBLISHED blatherings of one of the candidates who (thankfully) did not win his campaign. There are, however, 7 others who are of similar mindset who were elected or re-elected. Good thing there are 15 board members. Yes, 7 of the 15 people on the Texas school board want Creationism (or it's twin in weak disguise, Intelligent Design) to stand beside evolution in science as an equal. Seriously, I mean I know things have been going downhill lately, but what happened to that "separation" between church and state? This is ridiculous. Intelligent Design is NOT science. If it were science, it would be a testable hypothesis. However, this "intelligent design "theory"" (I have to use EXTRA quotemarks around theory, just to get across how bogus it really is) was MADE so that it is untestable. Ridiculous. You want it in textbooks? Put it in the same section as making the Bible mandatory reading. Oh, wait, you can't DO that.
