A Cry for Help

Hey, you know what's like September 11th? Would you guess another horrific attack? A nuclear explosion in an American city? Having your hometown destroyed by your liberators?

Would you guess "not having a chapter in your high school biology book about 'alternatives to evolution'"? No? Then you're not Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis:

[Davis] prefiled two bills for the next session of the Legislature that she said "reflect what people want." One would remove the state's requirement that all forms of contraception and their potential health effects be taught in schools, leaving the focus on abstinence. Another would require publishers that sell biology textbooks to Missouri to include at least one chapter with alternative theories to evolution.

"These are common-sense, grass-roots ideas from the people I represent, and I'd be very surprised if a majority of legislators didn't feel they were the right solutions to these problems," Ms. Davis said.

"It's like when the hijackers took over those four planes on Sept. 11 and took people to a place where they didn't want to go," she added. "I think a lot of people feel that liberals have taken our country somewhere we don't want to go. I think a lot more people realize this is our country and we're going to take it back."

"I want my country back"? What do you say when Republicans start channeling Howard Dean?
