Amazing paleontological discoveries this week:

A new species of early whale, in the form of a pregnant female with a near-term fetus: Laelaps : Maiacetus, the good mother whale.

An enormous boa constrictor that lived about 60 million years ago in Colombia, nearly 50 feet long and weighing more than a ton: Titanoboa!

Reached for comment, the Discovery Institute issued a statement: “Snakes, schmakes! Darwin led to Hitler!”

 Frank says:

Americans like to talk about (or be told about) Democracy but, when put to the test, usually find it to be an 'inconvenience.' We have opted instead for an authoritarian system disguised as a Democracy. We pay through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes got in there.
