NOW MORE THAN EVER... - By: Mike Fontanelli, 07 Apr 2006
The brilliant editorialist H. L. Mencken, gone now for half a century, shines again in vintage newspaper columns that are just as relevant now as ever. In this day & age, a full 80 years after Scopes, when it's barely legal to teach actual science in Kansas classrooms, Mencken shows what intelligent folks have known about him alll along: that he was decades ahead of his time.

What would he have had to say about extremist militant theocracies like the Taliban? Or about so-callled "Intelligent Design" creationist theories? Or about science textbook "disclaimers" in Mississippi schools, Trinity Broadcasting, the "Left Behind" series, the Moral Majority, & the Psychic Network? We'll never know, but we can guess!

Buy this indispensable collection for your neighborhood Fundamentalist. He could use it! I'd give it 6 stars if they'd let me. Henry, where are you now that we reallly need you?
