Oldie But Goodie "(If)Jesse Don't Like It (It's Probably Not Art)" By Loudon Wainwright III

If Jesse don't like it then it's prob'ly not art
Jesse knows what's good Ol' Jesse is smart
And if you don't like that don't feel sad
'Cause the art that you like is probably bad
Grandma Moses, she's OK
Never exposes anything; everything's far away
And the statue of David's all right with Jesse
'Cause Michelangelo gave him such a tiny pee-pee
If Jesse don't like it, it don't stay;
get it out of the museum, get it out of there today
Jesse's fav'rite painting is the one of the clown
with the daisy in his hand and a tear rollin' down
In the kindergarten years ago, Jesse got rude
He took a red Crayola and he drew a nude
And the teacher took a ruler to Jesse's behind
She beat his butt but she ruin'd his mind
Jesse prob'ly didn't like Picasso
But neither did the dictator Franco
And I know about art but I've got to take a hike
If I like somethin' that Jesse don't like
If Jesse thinks it's dirty it don't get any funds
They use the taxpayer's money on tobacco and guns
Your freedom of expression is bein' denied;
But if you're not sure what you like then just let Jesse decide
Don't photograph a penis; don't paint a breast
Don't write about the truth because it might offend Jesse
And don't tell it like it is, and don't show where it's at
'Cause Jesse don't like it and that is that.

Our Buddies the Saudis, Who’s “Freedom” We Defend, Sentence Pregnant Rape Victim to Prison & 100 Lashes.

Saudi women aren't allowed to drive, so this poor woman hitched a ride and was raped by the driver. "According to the judge, the woman is guilty of adultery and of accepting a ride from a stranger. Following her rape, she became pregnant, and will finish her pregnancy in prison. The one hundred lashes will be given after her baby is born." Saudi Arabia: Gang Rape Victim Sentenced to Prison, 100 Lashes. by Kal
These aren’t love taps between consenting adults. This picture is of a woman 20 days after she received 50 lashes. See, Our friends, The Saudis: Rape Victim Lashing describing a previous rape victim being sentenced to 200 lashes. Let freedom ring.

Creation Science/Intelligent Design Propaganda in Rogers High School? Dr. Steve says that Greer wouldn't put up with such nonsense.

Creation Science/Intelligent Design Propaganda in Rogers High School? From the Arkansas Times via Dr. Steve.

Darrel Henschell of the Fayetteville Freethinkers reports that:

A senior high student at Roger's High School has reported on our Fayetteville Freethinker board that a biology teacher has had the class watch Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed."

And no, it wasn't an exercise in discerning what propaganda looks like.

The student observes:

"He [the teacher] denies any evidence of fossils between reptiles and birds (even after I handed him an article discussing several) and probably all other fossils. The man claims that apparently the only eight* ancestors of men's fossils have been disproven, or something like that. He also made the argument from authority, "I can't believe you're arguing with a biology teacher about this."

Virgil's Trial Tip of The Day.

Sometimes, it's more important to put the fear of God in your own witnesses than the other side's.
