For all of my life, I have had nothing but happy thoughts about Ben Stein. Good memories: people winning his money on Comedy Central with Jimmy Kimmel, and "Bueller? Bueller?" Then I saw this tweet:

Just before I responded to her with "What's wrong with Ben Stein?" I decided to check his Wiki to see if I was missing something obvious. Wow, did I ever...

From Scientific American: "He and Expelled charge that scientists, in their rejection of religious explanations, have become as intolerant as Nazis."

From National Review Online: "I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed … that was horrifying beyond words, and that’s where science — in my opinion, this is just an opinion — that’s where science leads you. Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people."

From National Right to Life: "We owe a lot of thanks for that to Mr. Bush who has stood up unhesitatingly for life."

So yes, that's what's wrong with Ben Stein. Thanks Nicole for opening my eyes.

Wow, simply just wow
Had absolutely no clue
Used to be so cool...

Godspeed.
