The attack on expertise, on education, on science has already produced fruit: a significant and embarrassing number of Americans actually believe in Creationism, reject evolution (in both senses) with the more skeptical idiots signing on to "Intelligent Design." Weird, considering that "Intelligent" is not a term that they generally embrace otherwise. (They're agin' it.) The good news is that all day, the RIGHTIE blogosphere has been putting distance between Pajamas Media and the Wingnutosphere™. When you're too crazy for that crowd, you've achieved something impressive in a bizarro world way. True enough.

Even the guy who has an imaginary plumbing business. In Portugal every pundit is either a university teacher, a psycologist, member of a respectable public organization or parlament member of a party. (Doesn't change the fact that most of them are dumb but hey better than having a plumber). Duck those israeli DIME bombs Joe! Duck!
