Update: Texas: Still DOOMED

Here's part of the story. Hat Tip to PZ.

It's bad enough that we've got psuedoscientists and revisionist spin working their way into the textbooks. Texas has enough last place awards as it is.

ADDENDUM: Super-DOOMED.
ADDENDUM to the ADDENDUM: Poe's Law strikes. Of course, it wouldn't be subject to Poe's law if it didn't sound like a plausible quote. Texas is, after all, near the bottom in education.

I saw on Colbert that Texas is also considering getting rid of the senior year of high school to cut education expenses. Big win, there.

I really need to get back to watching the Daily Show and Colbert Report regularly. Think I'll start now.

I just restarted watching them recently. I catch up on them during breakfast, which is also new for me.

Hooray major lifestyle change!

Ben Grimm is god? That's a new one on me.

I'd worship that god, rocks and all.

I think I've seen attempts at a "Stan Lee" bible before. All I really remember is that they were much, much easier to read than the KJV.

If we're going to make up gods from the Marvel Universe (more specifically, the FF Universe), wouldn't Galactus make more sense?

Although, he wouldn't have a killer catchphrase to use when debating Shermer and Dawkins...
