  | Hello all,
  | 
  | I saw this web site:
  | 
  |    http://www.politics.ie/2993870-post1.html
  | 
  | Apparently, Conor Lenihan the Minister of Science and Technology is
  | attending a launching of a book by an author named John J. Mays
  | which purports to show that evolution is a hoax.  I'm not a citizen, but
  | somebody on this list oughtta do something to bring attention to this...

 From Pee Zed's blog (the first link),

   “ By the way, you can write to Lenihan and let him know what you think.
    [ Conor.Lenihan at deti.ie ]
    Be nice — laughing at his foolishness will be more effective than
    snarling at him.  It might be especially effective to write
    to the Irish Times [ http://www.irishtimes.com/about/contact/ ]
    or the Independent
    [ http://www.independent.ie/service/contact-us-24070.html ]
    and let them know there is a local politician doing something stupid,
    which is always good entertainment. ”

cheers!
