Annals of Crime -- Dr. Dino Goes Down
As we all know, the teaching of evolution in the public schools breeds contempt for god-given moral values. That's why we were so surprised to read a report in the Pensacola News Journal that a federal jury had convicted Kent Hovind, aka Dr. Dino of tax fraud -- not giving unto Caesar what is Caesar's.
Despite the conviction, Hovind remains a strong family values man. His wife, Jo, was also convicted of tax fraud. Her charges include aiding and abetting her husband with 44 counts of evading bank-reporting requirements.
Hovind, who runs Dinosaur Adventure Land, a creationist theme park that asserts Adam and Eve -- like Fred and Wilma --romped with the dinosaurs, reportedly faces a maximum of 288 years in prison. His wife faces up to 225 years.
According to the report in the Pensacola News Journal, Hovind's defense lawyers rested their case on Wednesday without presenting evidence or calling witnesses.
Hey, wait just a minute. That's the same proof they offer for creationism and intelligent design.
