(Sigh)

Unfortunately, his credentials are just a little less grand than advertised in this newspaper.

So, he is a member of Mensa. So am I. I bet there are a lot of people in Mensa.

What in the world does one persons beliefs have to do with another persons?

His book is apparently, since I haven't read it, a long whine about how a small group of people -- starting with Jerry Bergman himself, blame their own failures on prejudice and discrimination ... yet have no actual evidnece to back it up. I bet Guillermo Gonzales, formerly of ISU, and Nathanial Abraham, formerly of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute are prominently on display. Funny how failure to meet the requirements of tenure (Gonzales) and failure to do the work you were hired to do (Abraham) probably won't be mentioned.

I wonder if Bergman will mention how each of them (Bergman, Gonzales, and Abraham) had availed themselves of the appeal process and so far have failed.

I wonder if he talked to John Freshwater of Mount Vernon Ohio who not only got caught for teaching Creationism/Intelligent Design, but for burning a cross into student's arms.

On second thought I doubt Bergman has much new to say. If I see it around the Library I might read it ...but I certainly won't be paying any money for it.

Daily Horoscope for November 15

Taurus

The Moon moves through your seventh house of marriage and partnerships, helping you make a fresh start in important relationships. This may be painful as stern Saturn and obstructive Pluto complicate matters; you may have difficulty accepting certain changes within yourself or someone you love. Some of you may also be in conflict with a parent; try to step back and see the great cycle of life.
