1. Good speaker

with a very good point. From 800-1000 CE, the faith of Islam co-existed, nay, encouraged, scientific research. It's when the fundies come along that science stops. Seems like the same thing is happening here.

2. He is making a very significant point.............

A point that is lost in today's soundbite world. During the Bush administration this country has been operating on a faith based system. I'm sick of the whole thing.

5. TONY SNOW HERE --- to clear this up

Hi, Tony Snow here to clear up why this is good for america. Who named the stars? Well--- let's ask a star. Tom Cruise for example is a star AND a scientist thingie. Good for america... bad for arabia. WE WIN, THE TERRORISTS LOSE. President Bush is a science kinda guy... WHO was reading about caterpillers when the TERRORISTS from IRAQ attacked? President Bush. WE WIN THE TERRORISTS LOSE. Who is the star of the "I may be gay but I'm no lesbian" Room at the Creation Museum? MARY CHENEY, posing for the Immasculane Conception scene. WE WIN THE TERRORISTS LOSE.

Do we drop bombs or breadcrumbs???? Bombs. Why... so the TERRORISTS can't follow us home.

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my voice. WE WIN THE TERRORISTS LOSE and that is why we are better scientists.

Thank you one and all.

I love america
I love science
I love the occasional stem-cell on cracker treat
I love president bush
I love lamp
