Razib's rule: any sufficiently potent quasi-intellectual sophistry concocted on the Left is eventually appropriated by the Right. See here:

Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the Republican leader, aligned himself with President Bush on Friday when he said that the theory of intelligent design as well as evolution should be taught in public schools.

...Such an approach "doesn't force any particular theory on anyone," Mr. Frist said in Nashville, according to The Associated Press. "I think in a pluralistic society that is the fairest way to go about education and training people for the future."

"...whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians, 6:7.

The Left is pure science. The Right is applied engineering.
