Louisiana Republican Senator David Vitter has been pressured into dropping a $100,000 earmark for Louisiana Family Forum, a Christian group seeking to teach creationism in the classroom. The money, which was set to "promote better science education" will now be spent elsewhere. It's important to note that by "better", the LFF means "worse", and by "science", they mean "not-science". Oh, and not that this really has anything to do with anything, but Sen. Vitter is the one who was recently caught spending money on whores. More details here.
