A bad week for creationists

Just thought I'd share a few pieces of news that I came across.

Via PZ Myers, I learned that Ben Stein has been fired from the NY Times for violating their ethics guidelines.

Then in a comment to that post over at Pharyngula, I learn that a judge has ruled that the Feds can seize Dinosaur Adventure Land, Kent Hovind's infamous theme park, spreading ignorance, and which was closely related to him getting thrown in jail for tax evasion.

Today is also the day where PZ Myers and the Secular Student Alliance visits Ken Ham's Creation Museum. I can't wait to see how that plays out.

A look back in time; Ben Stein was also an idiot back then

PZ Myers links to a description of the newest stupidity of Ben Stein's economical advice. It's rather painful. However, even more interestingly, commenter JP points us to an old piece by Ben Stein where he accuses Paul Krugman of having a "limited background in economics".

Wow.

Paul Krugman is not one to mince words, so his response is quite entertaining.
