Had to put this one in humor.

FREE KENT HOVIND!

And, of course, the counter-petition. This one seems to be a tad more popular.

KEEP HOVIND IN JAIL!

I wish they would turn the fool loose. I miss having Kent around to chop chunks from when I'm feeling a bit liverish. He was such an easy target. Didn't hardly have to research anything at all. Now we're stuck with the likes of Ham, Dembski and Wells, who are at least as idiotic, but nearly as much fun.

A tad? When I accessed them, it was 57 pro, and 987 con.

(Get it? "Con?" I kill myself sometimes.)

Not only that, but one of the signatures on the pro list was from "Satan". I wonder how many others there are like that.

And Dave, I'm going to have to bar you from making any more horrible puns.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Signature 42, by Sophist: "Free Kent Hovind! Keeping him in jail is far too cruel a punishment for the other prisoners."

Signature 44, by Phil Latio: "Surely, threatening federal agents can't be that serious of a crime! He should go free."

Signature 49, by Hugh Dunne: "Let the bastard rot - he deserves it. He duped countless poor people out of their social security money, money for food and medicine etc."

Signature 50, by Amanda Huggandkiss: "We LOOOOOOVE you kent!"

Signature 53, by Anonymous: "Render to Caesar. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Hovind. Godly man?"

Signature 54, by Satan: "Free my boy. I need him out here in the world where he can continue doing my bidding."

Signature 55, by Barabas: "Hey, justice as a popularity contest worked out all right for me."

Signature 56, by Steve: "God Bless you Ken, I'm glad you've been able to find love in prison while you await your imminent release. I forget, which one of you is the power bottom?"

There's also filthy's sentiment to be found there...

Signature 51, by IRON MAN: "...Either way your life will no doubt still be somewhat entertaining for me, but seeing you rot in a prison/mental asylum isn't half the fun of watching you make a logical jackass of yourself on stage. I think it was John Stuart Mill who said something to the effect that, having people with extremist beliefs running around espousing them serves to reaffirm to the rest of society why those beliefs are invalid..."

So we can actually drop the number of serious signatures by either eight or nine. As of this writing, that would be either 48 or 49. Meanwhile, the "Keep Hovind in Jail" list has gone up to 1,027 signatures, adding 40 people in just about two hours.

I'll try to keep 'em locked up.

Though that was a truly horrible pun, Dave, it is nothing compared the sack of rocks in Kil's post here.

Can we start a petition that Kent Hovind be executed on national television? I know there might be some legal difficulties with the idea, but, despite Hovind's opinion, it's a free country, right?

Ten years in jail? I hope he doesn't evolve into a criminal.

The highlight of his career: when he was interviewed by Al G, and the latter asked him who had left a floater in the bathroom toilet, and poor Kent said something like this, "I don't even know why this is relevant to this conversation."
