We need to start a counter petition to keep him in. Think that site will host it?

He's not getting out. He believes that since the money he was dealing with is essentially gods money, it cannot be taxed. He also claims he is not a citizen of the united states, and a bunch of other things that basically piss the IRS off to no end. Not to mention the actual amount of taxes he has not paid.

I pity his poor cellmate!  Imagine being stuck in a tiny little room with him for 8 hours per night!  Evidently the poor guy was harassed into baptism the other day, according to the first two sentences of Kent's blog, which is all I could stomach.  Maybe the guy was hoping the preacher would drown him, so he didn't have to go back to his cell.

You can download a lot of his videos from the web site.

Some of the video titles are a riot.

I think there's a great opportunity here to put science vs religion to the test... Hovind seems to think humans and dinosaurs have peacefully co-existed in the past.

If scientists can one day recreate dinosaurs like t-rex, then perhaps Hovind could be given the chance to co-exist with them himself? Hallelujah!

I don't think he believes any of the crap he's peddling, but he knows most Americans do and will cheerfully make him wealthy for saying it. That level of audacity is almost admirable.

I read his "Dissertation" cough. . . .
I think he believes at least part of what he spews
