This time it’s the Bush badministration’s nominee for surgeon general. In a “scientific paper,” he compared human organs to “pipe fittings.” If the fittings don’t fit, see, it’s proof that homosexuality is potentially lethal. Or something, I dunno. You try to sort it out.

This post from Daily Kos can’t be improved on, so I quote it in full:

Ha ha ha ha ha! Conservapedia is high comedy.

Their entry on kangaroos, for instance, says that, “like all modern animals . . . kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah’s Ark prior to the Great Flood.”

You may not recognize the word “baramin.” It’s a 20th-century creationist neologism that refers to the species God placed on earth during Creation Week. Special for kids: I wouldn’t use that word on the biology final. Although maybe your parents could sue the local school board for failing to teach the Book of Genesis in science class.

More on Conserva-kangaroos: “After the Flood, these kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land with lower sea levels during the post-flood ice age, or before the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart, or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the receding flood waters.”

That must be one hell of a debate, given that neither side needs to use “facts” or “evidence” to back up its fantasies “arguments.”
