In a front page article in the Chicago Tribune today, a recent poll showed the majority of Americans are clueless dolts:

According to a November national Gallup poll, "only about a third of Americans believe that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is a scientific theory that has been well supported by the evidence, while just as many say that it is just one of many theories and has not been supported by the evidence." The rest said they didn't know.

A CBS News poll taken the same month found that two-thirds of Americans want creationism taught with evolution. It also indicated that 55 percent of Americans believe God created humans in their present form and only 13 percent think that humans evolved without divine guidance.

No wonder Bush won. It's a sad commentary on the state of public education in this country that the majority of Americans are so ill informed. We get what we deserve.
