Evolution, Amen

Science offers evidence that has been meticulously collected
and methodically potassium dated
based upon proven chemical events that occur at a known and predictable rate
and research subjected to ferocious peer review prior to publication.
What have you got?
Buncha uptight rules
that don't even make sense, not really.
No, we are not descended from apes
you moron.
Modern apes and homosapien have a common ancestor.
Not homosexual! Homosapien!
Jesus Christ, what's the matter with you?
Oops, sorry.
Now where were we?
That humans were born in sin
and will go to hell if they believe in things that aren't in the Bible.
You think the book with the black cover
(hey how come it always has a black cover?)
is enough
and your guy is in the White House
yeah, he "won"
and our guy lost.
But if you ask me
(which you didn't)
we are all losers this time;
you, me
and don't forget about the planet
headed toward her last breath
maybe ending this debate
once
and for all.


bright side
publication pending

ticking time bomb toward major catastrophe
and the planet getting warmer
and ice melting
and polar bears drowning
but know what? i hate the cold
so maybe it's not so bad


saddam, michael & george
publication pending

ever since saddam hussein bombed our country
we've had to fight for peace
he had those nucular weapons
and they were aimed straight at us...

don't talk to me about michael moore
he's a nut, i've heard he's a nut
and has an agenda
creepy commie liberal...

yesterday george bush vetoed
legislation that supported stem cell research
God love him for keeping us safe from science
now if we can just get ridda them goddamn homosexuals...
