Go Bill Nye the Science Guy!!!
In a new web video from online knowledge forum Big Think, Bill Nye talks about evolution denial and its negative impact on society. Nye says the idiotic radical religious reich is welcome to their “crazy, untenable, inconsistent” world view, so long as they don’t try to force it on their children.
“[I]f you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that’s completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that’s fine, but don’t make your kids do it because we need them,” Nye says. “We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can-we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems.”

Based on the internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents, the number of removals are actually down, the opposite of what the administration has been claiming.

@jm “Lance’s statement is awesome. He makes the USADA look like a bunch of punks.”
Yes. It would seem that way until you get the rest of the facts. There’s a reason he dropped his defense. Actually, a lot of very good reasons. And none of them make Armstrong look good.

Looks like they pulled that story. Maybe it wasn’t true?
