Well, its currently 34 degrees with wind at around 35 MPH. Tonight we're expecting a hard freeze. Though, I shouldn't complain too much. On the upside, the Huskers are looking as strong as ever, and Denver is steadily improving....

Today I received an e-mail telling me that I can switch over and start using the e-mail from our new ISP/Cable co. I'm fairly handy and know my way around a keyboard, so I grabbed the username and password from...

The Chief has been looking at this with bemusement - sort of like a Rottweiler watching yapping toy poodles - hardly worth the trouble to respond to.

However....there HAS been a good response from the esteemed Emperor Darth Misha's Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler...and he seems to have covered all the bases, chewed up the poodles, and spit them out as being unworthy fare. Check it our - the Chief fully concurs on this one.

What a beautiful day to not have to get up and go to work. It's still in the low to mid-40s, and it's still drizzling. In fact, I set my alarm clock for 6:30 this morning just so I could...

Why Intelligent Design Is Going to Win

It doesn't matter if you like it or not. It doesn't matter if you think it's true or not. Intelligent Design theory is destined to supplant Darwinism as the primary scientific explanation for the origin of human life. ID will be taught in public schools as a matter of course. It will happen in our lifetime. It's happening right now, actually.

First, the Chief will stipulate, that based on observation of the doings of the denizens of Washington, D.C. the prospect for intelligent design certainly seems doubtful. However...in other terms there is merit in the proposition.

This posting presents a proposition, and supporting discussion that the concept of intelligent design (ID) will ultimately gain ascendency, for a number of clearly stated reasons:

1) ID will win because it's a religion-friendly, conservative-friendly, red-state kind of theory, and no one will lose money betting on the success of red-state theories in the next fifty to one hundred years.

2) ID will win because the pro-Darwin crowd is acting like a bunch of losers.

3) ID will win because it can be reconciled with any advance that takes place in biology, whereas Darwinism cannot yield even an inch of ground to ID.

4) ID will win because it can piggyback on the growth of information theory, which will attract the best minds in the world over the next fifty years.

5) ID will win because ID assumes that man will find design in life -- and, as the mind of man is hard-wired to detect design, man will likely find what he seeks.

Check out the whole article for the supporting discussion. The Chief particularly likes what's said in reference to the first of the above points:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: families that reproduce people tend to reproduce ideas, as well. The most vocal non-scientist proponents of ID are those delightfully fertile Catholics, Evangelicals, and similarly right-leaning middle-class college-educated folk -- the kind whose children will inherit the country. Eventually, the social right will have the sheer manpower to teach ID wherever they please.

Back in undergrad days, the Chief encountered more-or-less female students of the feminazi persuasion who proclaimed their intention to NEVER have children. As a student of biology, I stated the biological significance of that option: "Oh, you have decided then that you are biologically unfit! Biological fitness is defined as success in passing genes on to the succeeding generation." The reaction to this...as the saying goes...priceless!

In 18 f***ing innings, as they would say on Deadwood. That's two whole ballgames for the price of one. The Astros brought the Rocket in to close, and he had to bat because they didn't have anyone left to bat...

Democrats have been saying for weeks now that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor ought to be replaced by Sandra Day O'Connor. Since Bush is opposed to reproductive cloning, they should be happy that he has picked a rather reasonable facsimile. Democrats...
