The Coulter Hoax: How Ann Coulter Exposed the Intelligent Design Movement, by Peter Olofsson:

Coulter has very cleverly written a fake criticism of evolution, much like the way NYU physicist Alan Sokal in 1996 published a fake physics article in a literary journal, an affair that has become known as the "Sokal hoax." A self-proclaimed "old unabashed leftist," Sokal was disturbed by the sloppily antiscientific, postmodernistic mentality that had started to replace reason and rationality within the academic left and ingeniously made his point by managing to get his nonsense article published by the very people he wished to expose.

Coulter's aim at antiscience is at the other end of the political spectrum. An equally unabashed rightist, she is apparently disturbed by how factions within the political right abandon their normally rational standards when it comes to the issue of evolution. However, whereas Sokal revealed his hoax in a separate article, Coulter challenges her readers to find out the truth for themselves. Without claiming to do justice to Coulter's multifaceted and sometimes subtle satire, I will attempt to outline some of her most amusing and salient points.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECK!!!

Ah, the next time my Dad wants to go to Olive Garden, I think we'll have to pull out the ol' burlap sack and kidnap him to The Old Spaghetti Factory. One can hardly argue with their gelato (and it would no doubt soothe any lingering resentment of burlap.)

i like this song...

Thanks all!

Happy Birthday Beck!!
