Great news out of Dover PA

I'm sure if you watch Yahoo News or some such thing, you'll know the news: the judge in the Intelligent Design case in Dover PA has ruled conclusively that ID is not science, that it was a not-so-subtle attempt to inject religion into the science curriculum, and that the sticker and statement proposed was not constitutional.

My favorite part of the ruling is where he points out that two Dover board members lied under oath about numerous topics. "It is ironic that several of these individuals, who so staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions in public, would time and again lie to cover their tracks and disguise the real purpose behind the ID Policy"

I find it utterly and sickeningly ironic that these people, who are supposedly God-fearing individuals, would lie in an oath taken to that selfsame God about the events that preceded the proposed policy.

Anyhow, I think the only phrase I can think of right now is, thank God things turned out this way.
