Leading Off
1. The Republican and Democratic primary runoffs are today, which has Wick’s political pants in a slight bunch. (For my frame of reference, I like to think of it as a supplemental draft–no Troy Aikman’s, but you can grab a Steve Walsh here and there.) The race for Crazy Sheriff is the highlight.
2. A Plano tax preparer who is currently under arrest on charges of a 2005 rape may be linked to nearly 20 sexual assaults throughout the area. DNA has linked him to at least seven cases, which seems like conclusive scientific evidence, but there’s always a chance the jury could be full of proponents of Intelligent Design.
3. It’s the home opener for YOUR Texas Rangers, and, thankfully, there’s construction on I-30! To celebrate this event, it appears the Morning News asked the team’s All-Star shortstop to pen this story about, uh, the home opener.

Understanding (at a layman’s level) the workings of DNA and agreeing with the theory of intelligent design are somehow mutually exclusive? It seems to me that the more that is learned about DNA, what it means, and how it works makes an even better case for intelligent design. Something that complex happening at random? Really?
Yes, this time I took the bait. Typically I let it pass. Good job on this one. You got what you wanted - a response.
