Vitter Earmarks Federal Funds for Anti-Evolution Group

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) has earmarked $100,000 for a Louisiana group that advocates stopping the teaching of evolution in public schools, the Times-Picayune reports. Vitter has close ties to the group, the Louisiana Family Forum (insert joke about Vitter and DC Madam here), which calls evolution a “dangerous” theory. The spending bill containing the earmark is pending before the Senate.
