In today's pages
The editorial board debunks claims of Kentucky's new Creation Museum:
Young Earthers believe the world is about 6,000 years old, as opposed to the 4.5 billion years estimated by the world's credible scientific community. This would be risible if anti-evolution forces were confined to a lunatic fringe, but they are not. Witness the recent revelation that three of the Republican candidates for president do not believe in evolution. Three men seeking to lead the last superpower on Earth reject the scientific consensus on cosmology, thermonuclear dynamics, geology and biology, believing instead that Bamm-Bamm and Dino played together.
The board urges state legislators to "microstamp" gun cartridges to make solving crimes easier, and asks the MTA to find the middle ground on fare hikes.
On the op-ed page, columnist Patt Morrison tries to stick to her vegetarian diet on a food-stamp budget, while writer Caroline Paul tells the story of her animal rights activist brother, "considered one of the biggest domestic terrorists in the country." Lewis & Clark Law School professor Robert J. Miller writes of the pope's near-apology for forced conversions of natives of the New World.
Readers respond to the Democrats' decision to give up a timeline for the Iraq war. Peter Magill of South Pasadena writes, "Wow. And just like that, I'm no longer a Democrat."
Patt, are these 1,327,000 (or whatever) California children; or are they Mexican children trespassing in California under the political correct
term "anchor baby?"

President Bush will be remembered as the Neo-Nero.
Nero fiddled while his Rome burned.
President Bush fiddled with Iraq while his America was invaded
by Mexico.
President Bush, forget Iraq; nuke Mexico.
Know your enemy.
