We learn something about the designer below the fold…
Read the whole thing, though, for the sad conclusion—the “big tent” of Intelligent Design has some limits.

Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
I’ve been saying that birds are the pinnacle of evolution for decades, although i wasn’t specifically thinking of penguins when I said that ..

I will refrain from mentioning a certain annoying meme from talk.origins here…..
Birds rock! Opus for President!
IDers– one step short of “The Frog-March of the Penguins”
Anyone remember the “scientific penguinism” story arc from Bloom County, back in the early ’80s?
Sometimes I wonder how judges who have to deal with ID-related cases manage not to echo the judge in that lawsuit:
“Clear the court, you loons! This is @#$%^&*( ridiculous!”
Good gravy but it’s good to see Opus again!

Too funny!

They didn’t boot Opus because of his chart, they kicked him out because of Penguin Lust (to mention another old story arc from Bloom County).
Opus got it wrong. Mankind devolved from penguins, not the other way around. All us good Tuxologists know that. The Great Penguin, Tux, created penguinkind in His image as the perfect being, and then man devolved from penguinhood. But by participating in the Sacrament of the Herring, you, too, can find your inner penguin and attain perfect peace — penguin zen.
Gosh, I thought *everybody* knew that, but apparently not!
BTW, I am *SO* sueing the State of Kansas to teach Tuxologist’s theory of the origins of man in their classrooms. I mean, sure, it makes about as much sense as Intelligent Design. But, err, it makes as much sense as Intelligent Design!

I wonder what is the Intelligent Designer planning to design when he/she/it becomes tired of humans. Maybe we see chimpanzees starting to talk, like Caesar. Be warned, Planet of the Apes is in our future.

Who knew that when Bill the Cat ran for president so many years ago that we would actually end up with him in office?
Things that GWB and Bill have in common:
*Dubious control over the engilish language
*Past(?) drug use
*Political puppet
*Misspent youth
*Unaccountable appeal to some women
*Wears tighty-whiteys
*Doesn’t like to read
*Product of the ’80’s
“Oop Ack” indeed.
Long before there was Bill for President, I was for Alfred E. Newman. If there was ever a more cogent warning about getting what you were wishing for, I don’t know it.
