Ebert Reviews Expelled

Win Ben Stein's mind is Roger Eberts tour de force review of Ben Stein's creationist propaganda film "Expelled". This is the least interesting part of the review:

"That is simply one revealing fragment. This film is cheerfully ignorant, manipulative, slanted, cherry-picks quotations, draws unwarranted conclusions, makes outrageous juxtapositions (Soviet marching troops representing opponents of ID), pussy-foots around religion (not a single identified believer among the ID people), segues between quotes that are not about the same thing, tells bald-faced lies, and makes a completely baseless association between freedom of speech and freedom to teach religion in a university class that is not about religion."
