neadods My Firefox News review of The Doctor's Daughter.
Occasionally foulmouthed and crass but always gloriously snarky review of the Creation Museum
For those of you who haven't heard about this yet (and I'm surprised how many people still haven't), The Creation Museum is the crowning achievement of religious stupidity - a shrine of ignorance that only America's chewy center could play host to. It's a $27 million dollar, 60,000 square foot state-of-the-art complex in Kentucky, designed to look and feel exactly like a science/natural history museum. It has elaborate dioramas of animals and nature, audio-visual presentations, animatronic dinosaurs, fossil replicas, diagrams of geological formations, and even a gift shop. But one small detail sets it distinctly apart from other science museums you've probably visited: There is not a single shred of science on display within its walls. Worse still, its very existence is a bold mockery of science itself.
Was asked about a point in a review, and I can't find the original to see exactly what I said. However, I did stumble over a review for a book that I hope I Dear Author-ed, because nothing says "call the cops" like a plot where a guy feels the best way to reassure a friend that he's not a freak is to first cyberstalk and then really stalk her and her family.
