Remember that ISU prof denied tenure & claimed it was because he backed ID?
I was over at the website debunking the Ben Stein movie 'Expaelled' and they have a little different story than what I remember reading in the MSM. Thought maybe some of you may be curious:

"In addition to his declining publication record and his failure to mentor graduate students to completing their programs, it is also notable that Gonzalez brought in far fewer research grants than his colleagues. The average tenured faculty in the ISU physics and astronomy department brought in $1.3 million in grants during their first six years. Gonzalez brought in, at most, $200,000 during the same amount of time, $64,000 of which was used to pay a doctoral student at a different university and $58,000 of which was for his intelligent design book The Privileged Planet. In 2007, Gonzalez told the Ames Tribune that “he was told, beginning with his three-year tenure review in 2004, that he needed to bring in more research funding. He added he heard the same message in reviews every year since, as well. He has made the effort, he said, submitting two grant applications per year, but to no avail.”

As I expected ISU had their ducks in a row.

1. You have to or the nutter sues
they wanted to can his arse earlier but they had to play out the string and show his lack of grant awards so there was no way this clown could come back on them. I have real problems with the HR people that hired that guy.

2. Expelled disgusts me.
The fact that the Intelligent Design nazis can even CLAIM victimhood is despicable.

I'd go on about it, but the Yankee game is on, and I don't want to get all pissy about something anyway.
