Humanity Getting Dumber We Are DEVO

Humanity Getting Dumber We Are DEVO — Stanford University geneticist Dr. Gerald Crabtree reports that the human race is losing its cognitive capabilities and becoming more emotionally unstable, a claim that should be apparent to anyone who has followed the last election or has attempted to watch David Letterman.

Or read the Washington Post recently for that matter.

Crabtree wants every man, woman and mutant on this planet to know the truth about devolution.

“They tell us that we lost our tails, evolving up from little snails. I say it’s all just wind in sails,” Crabtree said.

He then spelled it out: “We are devo. D.E.V.O.”

Actually, he didn’t say that, which something that we feel is important to note as a Washington Post reporter might read it here and report that he did.

Popular culture figured devolution out way back in 1977. Here’s the video:

Less Newspaper Advertising Say Marketing Pros

Less Newspaper Advertising Say Marketing Pros — A third of marketing professionals except to focus even more away from newspapers reports eMarketer.com

The information comes from a poll by Inavero for the staffing firm Aquent and the American Marketing Association.

Meanwhile, over 70 percent of them expect to increase their focus on mobile media, social media, marketing automation and social networking sites.

Oh, and 63 percent expect to look harder at blogs.

The tree-killers, however, can still expect to count on $70 million in subsidies from the State of Pennsylvania, which to some degree accounts for their willingness to be big government lapdogs.

3 Bills Leave Ed Committee

Members of the Pennsylvania House Education Committee passed three measures aimed at increasing student safety and better allocating funding for special education, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

House Resolution 53 would authorize the formation of a select committee to investigate, review, and make recommendations regarding safety and security in public and nonpublic schools and institutions of higher education in Pennsylvania.

House Bill 555 would require all public schools to include the Megan’s Law website on any transportation-related communication distributed to students, parents and the public, as well as posting the website on schools’ homepages in an effort to offer parents and families information about safe bus and walking routes.

House Bill 2 would create a Special Education Funding Commission to develop a new special education funding formula that better reflects the actual special education populations in Pennsylvania school districts.

All of the measures are before the full House for consideration.
