Pot Meet Kettle

New York Times today has an article that a list of approved majors for a federal grant program of low-income college students came out by the Dept of Education and Evolutionary Biology has been removed. A spokewoman said it was a clerical error and will be corrected but it hasn't been fixed yet. More troubling is that in a list of 300 majors this is the one that was removed. Hardly a clerical error. Reasonable doubt.

In yesterday's Boston Globe was an article Activists target hotel porn. A Hilton spokewoman said "Really ultraconservative groups try to target the hotels in their zest to eliminate porn. In their zest to have their personal morals prevail, they're eliminating choice for others." This just seems so dumb, if you want want it, don't order it, why tell others what they can or can't do? Doesn't that sound like what the "evil-doers" are doing?

I really don't know what Islamo-fascism is, but if it does mean something, this is sounding like Evangelico-fascism.
