Maybe There Is a God

You may remember this idiot from a few days ago:

Bruner disagreed: "When we only teach theory -- it's a theory, theories are unproven -- but in the science class, if only one theory is taught then we're teaching a religion. It is the religion of atheism."

That's not the worst of it -- she's the one who was saying that Obama paid for his drugs in college by working as a male prostitute.

Well, she lost:

Texas voters on Tuesday decided the state’s school board should not include a retired teacher who claimed President Barack Obama was a gay prostitute and said dinosaurs might still be around if Noah had more room on his biblical ark.

Mary Lou Bruner, 69, an arch-conservative with a penchant for conspiracy theories, lost by 18 percent to fellow Republican Keven Ellis in a primary race for the board that sets policies for the nation’s second-largest school system, unofficial Office of the Secretary of State results showed.

The nation's textbook publishers are probably breathing a deep sigh of relief.

The scary part is that she only lost by 18%.
