this one looks like a keeper

I find the name of the source ironic:

Christian Science Monitor

Three-for-one moonbat pun:

1. The article implies Republicans (in thrall to the Religious Right) is against Science, so there is a surface pun about "Christian Science".

2. There is a second pun about "Christian Science Monitor"--are they Christians who are monitoring Science, or are the publishers monitoring Christian pseudoscience? (*)

3. To top it all off, "Christian Science" is neither doctrinally Christian, nor scientific.

Ahhh, the power of words.

Cheers!

(*) E.g. Christian 'pseudoscience' might by YEC and Leftist 'pseudoscience' might be Kyoto treaty.

The Monitor has long been regarded as a pretty good newspaper. I'm not a mormon, but they are the only ones producing good music on TV.

The so called "Christian" Science Monitor is more akin to Scientology world view than the Christian world view. Their name is a misnomer. They are neither represent true Christianity nor true science. Semi-pagan leftists, their theology similar to the Unitarians.
