EVOLUTION THEORY VINDICATED

BUSH, Obama

63% of Americans Reject

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution

America, the nation of  science, pragmatism and modernity is in danger of extinction.  A 2006 Pew Research poll found that only 26% of Americans accept Darwin’s theory of evolution as fact, 63% deny it and  11%  aren’t sure whether we come from monkeys or from magic!

Considering Thursday was the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, Monde Dane set out to correct this ill-informed phenomenon by conducting extensive web-based research. The result is conclusive evidence that evolution is a fact, no longer a theory.

“Good and evil are present in this world, and between the two there can be no compromise.” GWB 15 January, 2009

This Thursday, George W. Bush, architect of the Patriot Act, executor of two wars, defender of freedom abroad, enforcer of security at home, friend to America’s prosperous, foe to its detractors, New England aristocrat and redneck rustic, reformed alcoholic and born again Christian, anti-intellectual, pro-business, good humored, dedicated, devoted, demonic, occasionally demented 43rd president of the United States of America gave his most awaited, most anticipated address to the American people – his farewell address.

Adieu, sir.  You will be missed.  We shall miss your unique interpretation of the English language, your nonchalant shrug and devil-may-care grin, your steadfast defense of the indefensible, and your unwavering devotion to inspirational reasoning.

Your absence will leave a deep chasm in the material of social commentators all across the political spectrum – from Rush Limbaugh to Michael Moore. Your fiscal policies will be well remembered by grateful corporate executives and beleaguered taxpayers alike. Your foreign policy decisions will forever remain the ideal of radical recruiters around the world. And overall, you sir, will be direly missed by Bush Bashers of every persuasion.

Adios George.  Hope to see you again – at the Hague.

Yours truly, A grateful American

THE END IS HERE

The end is here for each and all;

For Bernard Madoff’s fleeced flock,
the end of dividends too good to be true.
For the Faustian CEO bloc,
the end of gilded parachutes and rancid revenue.

For Dick Cheney’s Halliburton cronies,
the end of contracts on demand.
For the Neo-cons and hangers on,
the end of castles in the Arabian sand.

For the Bush dynasty,
the end of a bloody reign.
For the GOP religiosity,
the end of the gravy train.

For the man of Hope and Change,
the end of unchallenged praise.
For his people formerly chained,
the end of a long, bitter malaise.

For hundreds in Gaza, and along the Tigris,
and so many more in places unnamed,
the end of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
the lot of the martyrs, all murdered or maimed.

But for you and for me
the end is not something to fear,
no Apocalypse, no calamity
just the end of another year.
