For those who are counting Hillary out already I offer this chilling reality: The last time a Clinton finished 3rd in Iowa he went on to become POTUS

True, however Mr. Bill was in the cellar before Iowa, 3rd was a bit of a coup for him. Whereas for Hills, this is a major slip.

That, and no one campaigned on the Democrat side in Iowa that year due to the favorite son factor

"Descended from monkeys" is an imprecision that doesn't generally bother me too much since while it is wrong scientifically, in common usage "monkey" is just a catchall word for primates and our common ancestor was certainly some time of primate (and technically, far enough back probably much more monkey-like than ape-like).

Speaking of evolution vs. creationism...

Updated text on evolution released.

Some comments from the other side that are just too easy to poke at...

Quote:

"One of the greatest scientific evidences that we have is in the holy Bible,"

Great understanding of what science is there, bub.

Quote:

"It's a detriment (because) if there is no creationism, no God, then children have no responsibility," Drake said. "That's why they go to school and shoot people. Because they've been told there's no accountability."

Are you effing kidding me. "That's why they go to school and shoot people"?! Yeesh, this guy is charged with giving people advice on how to live?

Have I never mentioned mentioned all of the schools I've shot up?

With apologies to Tom

Did you ever see Obama win Iowa? Oh the drama! 'Bama drama tastes of llama. Llama, Obama won!

In case y'all missed the news. I is happy.

Oh, and Huckabee won too, but he doesn't rhyme with llama.

I think there is great "modern major general" rhyming potential for "Huckabee".

I'm happy about one result. Not so much with the other. Of course, other than the fact that everybody has gathered and decided today is important, I don't really think it is important.

Biggest surprise to me (probably because I haven't really been paying attention to polls) was Thompson's third place.
