Santorum’s Flip-Flopping on Intelligent Design

Via Atrios, we see that Rick Santorum “differed Thursday with President Bush’s support for teaching an alternative to the theory of evolution known as ‘intelligent design'”:
I think I would probably tailor that a little more than what the president has suggested. … I’m not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom.
[website]Santorum Exposed points out that the senator authored an op-ed in 2002 arguing that “intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes.” But Santorum didn’t stop there. Not by a long shot.
Also in 2002, he “tried to attach an amendment to the No Child Left Behind Act that would encourage the teaching of intelligent design.” (The amendment failed, but the statement was adopted as part of the law’s Conference Report.)

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
