I'm getting email calling me a "theocon shill" for mentioning Stein, and email telling me I'll burn in hell for calling Intelligent Design "pernicious twaddle." Frankly, the rabid atheists and the rabid creationists seem an awful lot alike, and no proper hell could be truly hellish without the both of them yammering away at each other. Feh.

I've not yet seen the movie. Usually I won't watch a movie in a theater, preferring to wait for the DVD. In this case, I have to see what the fuss is all about.
