Perhaps this "critical thinking 'bout creation" bill by Rep. Bill "Circular Reasoning" Dunn will actually end up being good secular legislation - imagine a classroom discussion wherein during a lecture to students gathered in a science class is the following "critical thinking" discussion about the fallacy of circular reasoning ("...an argument that uses its conclusion as one of its premises is most often called "begging the question" or circular reasoning"):
"But is there a God?"
"Yes."
"How do you know?"
"Because the Bible says so."
"How do you know the Bible is correct?"
"Because it was inspired by God."
In this fallacy, the premise, the Bible’s statement that God exists, derives its authority from the attempted conclusion, the existence of the God who allegedly wrote the Bible."
Thus, the entire biblical account of creation is grounded on the fallacy of circular reasoning.

"I think it only fair that the first order of business in the next session should be a five-year suspension of the rules. Shouldn’t we let the poor Republicans get a few years of freebies, to build new relationships with the lobbyists, and then forbid them again?
But it really wouldn’t help. Speaker-to-be Jason Mumpower has no appreciation for whiskey. He goes home at night and does homework and reads the occasional comic book."
"Occasional"? The News Sentinel reported Mumpower as stating that he reads a comic book each night before going to bed...
Reads to me like Mumpower is jonesin' on the 'toons.
And you are definitely wrong about Mumpower having "no appreciation for whiskey"...in all your glee over the elections, you must have been overlooking Mumpower's campaign finance reports...
