Nice to see

From article here: Martha Wise, who has left the Ohio school board to run as a Republican candidate for the state Senate, is supporting a Democrat to replace her on the school board because he's the only candidate opposed to teaching 'intelligent design' in science classes. “My party leadership will be upset with me,” Wise said. “But I feel it’s the right thing to do.”

(Those of you who follow ID-ism will be unsurprised to note that one of the three ID candidates is an engineer. I'd ask what it is about engineers and ID, but I think I can guess.)

In related news, ex-Aussie Kent Hovind continues to entertain with his unusual interpretation of "render unto Caesar". Am I right in supposing that $9000 is just under some mandatory transaction reporting threshold, BTW?

(And why is LJ telling me that 2006 is an 'inappropriate year value'?)
