March of the Conservatives: Penguin Film as Political Fodder - New York Times

Leave it to the goddamn conservatives to coopt and ruin a perfectly wonderful penguin documentary. This is a case where people see what they want to see and ignore the rest. Their evidence of proof of intelligent design could just as easily be proof of evolution -- how else but animals struggling, dying and adapting to survive continental drift into colder climes do we explain the absurdness of these creatures. The conservatives' focus on the monogomy of the penguins leaves out the fact that the film also pointed out that they change partners every year, and there are many documented cases of gay penguins discussed previously in this blog.

For fuck's sake.
