I Heart the Huckabees…

… but this is one Huckabee that I just can’t heart. I must confess that I really haven’t paid too much attention to the ongoing political charade that is currently unfolding. Even less so to the republican side of things, but I was not shocked at all when I stumbled across this Wired article.

The short and skinny is that republican front runner Mike Huckabee has a nasty habit of dodging the evolution questions. Playing the whole evolution issue off as a silly little theory that isn’t worth the consideration of a presidential hopeful. Let us all thank the man Bill Maher for giving Huck the opportunity to clarify his stance on evolution.

If this clip didn’t help clarify who you should throw your vote to, then consider filling out the quiz provided by Glassbooth. It’s easier than a Cosmo quiz—just attribute points to some key issues based on their importance to you, rate your level of agreement with statements regarding those issues, and tada! It’ll spit out the top three candidates that share your feelings.

I took the quiz it, see how it turned out:

  1. Dennis Kucinich: 84%
  2. Mike Gravel: 80%
  3. Bill Richardson: 71%

I think that if Kucinich was more inclined to let the criminals fry we’d be soul-mates, sorry Ivy.

In closing, it is my opinion that of all the things in this world that can prove evolution to be true, it’s the American political process that throws it ass end up. If by some fluke or mishap Huckabee becomes the next president we’ll have to suffer through another four years of David Letterman’s Great Moments In Presidential Speeches. Here’s hoping that only the fittest survives.
