Roger & Me was awesome, but Michael Moore has become progressively more annoying with every movie following. As an occasionally wing-nutty liberal myself, I admit that he has a place and serves a purpose - he balances the blovio-meter, and makes the more reasonable arguments and argumentors look, well, more reasonable. He also brings up topics that need to be brought up - guns in schools, cost of health care - and he gets people talking, which, in a democracy (marketplace of ideas and all that), cannot be a bad thing.
And so we welcome former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein, who's game show I loved (and who's money I would love to take) but who has Michael Moore'd creationism in a new flick called Expelled.
Hoping for the attention and controversy that surrounds every Moore movie, Ben Stein puts forth the vast left wing conspiracy to suppress freedom and free inquiry into...intelligent design, or the theory that if you can't prove it, then it must be true.
I'm on the "science, it works bitches" side of things myself, so I'll just point you to the National Center for Science Education's Expelled Exposed and let you conduct your own experiments to see which side wins.
