Let’s Just Put Them Into One Big Pile and Label Them Stupid

I had a busy weekend and didn’t pay much attention to the news, so this morning I wanted to see what I missed. Mostly, it was just a lot of stupid.

First off, we have Bill Nye the Science Guy, pissing off Christians with science in (predictably) Waco, TX:

Bill Nye, the harmless children’s edu-tainer known as “The Science Guy,” managed to offend a select group of adults in Waco, Texas at a presentation, when he suggested that the moon does not emit light, but instead reflects the light of the sun.
…
But nothing got people as riled as when he brought up Genesis 1:16, which reads: “God made two great lights — the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern thenight. Healso madethe stars.”

The lesser light, he pointed out, is not a light at all, but only a reflector.

At this point, several people in the audience stormed out in fury. One woman yelled “We believein God!” and left with three children, thus ensuring that people across America would read about the incident and conclude that Waco is as nutty as they’d always suspected.

And then there’s this series of billboards, suggesting that if you believe in global warming, you might be a terrorist.

And you thought Jeff Foxworthy couldn’t get any worse.
