The Election

Apparently, Charles Darwin received 4,000 write-in votes in a congressional election in Georgia. No wonder, the incumbent, Republican incumbent, Paul Broun, is known for calling evolution "lies straight from the pit of hell." He also ran unopposed, so one can conclude that his district is very "safe" (though not safe for the rational). I guess when one lives in such an area, and respects science and reason, the only alternative is to write in a long-dead Englishman in protest against such a stifling hegemony.
