Update: Empire Declining More Slowly Than Previously Reported

Apparently, the news release from Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (peer.com), "OLD IS THE GRAND CANYON? PARK SERVICE WON’T SAY — Orders to Cater to Creationists Makes National Park Agnostic on Geology", that I posted earlier is not, as my Alter Ego would say, entirely accurate.

Apparently, the book about Noah's Flood and the Grand Canyon is for sale in the park, but Park Rangers are still yakking the ears off tourists about the Canyon's geological history.

Bad, public advocacy group! No bone! I can't believe the Internet lied to me *iz shocked*.

Tim Horton's though? Still totally spying on people with their special Remembrance Day quarters.
