Bristol Palin held her first interview since giving birth Monday night with Greta Von Susteren. The 18 year old daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin talked about her experience as a mother and her mother’s policies towards education.
“Mom says that science and stuff is too hard to force kids to learn. That the world is too complicated to have just happened by accident, and things like an eyeball show signs of a designer. She’s right, Bio is totally hard. But if you work at it, it does kinda make sense.”
She then went on a diatribe about carbon dating, genetic transference, and paleoanthropology.
Bristol held up her Lisa Frank notebook filled with equations and diagrams which categorically disprove the possibility of Intelligent Design.
“It’s a nice idea, but it’s just not realistic. I mean, Lucy? The entire pre-hominid fossil record? Hello??”
Sarah Palin, who was sitting in the room at the time, looked increasingly more uncomfortable. Eventually she broke the silence saying:
“Well now none of us were there so we can’t know for sure…”
“Omigod Mom, it’s called Gene Mapping, don’t even get me started!”
The two sat in an awkward silence until Sarah went into a speech thanking Von Susteren and the other personalities at Fox News for being the last saviors of Democracy. Bristol rolled her eyes and mumbled math equations under her breath.

Bristol Palin disproves intelligent design
The Weekly World News, now online only, looks like it's trying to become more like The Onion:
I thought that WWN was pretty much already working in that space. Ie: unlike the Nat'l Enquirer and the other tabs, they didn't even expect to be taken seriously.
ReplyDeleteEamon: I think it's true that they've never expected to be taken seriously, but usually they've been pro-paranormal, UFO, woo, and religious craziness in the process. This is the first time I've seen a WWW story where scientists were the good guys, as opposed to someone who wanted to blow up the moon or inadvertently drilled a hole to hell.
