Evolution in Real Time

The Arizona Daily Star reported yesterday that John McCain is now on board in advocating Intelligent Design as a scientific alternative to evolution and ought to be taught in our public schools. The Star also indicates the Senator didn't stop there:

"On Tuesday, though, he sided with the president on two issues that have made headlines recently: teaching intelligent design in schools and Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who has come to personify the anti-war movement."

Not yet announced as official is the Senator's intention to pursue his party's nomination for president in 2008. Relatedly, unconfirmed reports say the Senator's start-up campaign committee is already planning to modify his 2000 campaign theme, "The Straight-Talk Express," in order to conform with his evolving positions and rename it "The Straight-Talk-My-Ass Express."
