Something nasty seems to get passed on with the name “Hovind”, anyway. Eric Hovind’s latest stunt: He’s ‘taking back’ Earth Day with a silly, misguided campaign to replace tree-planting with Christian evangelism, and with selling t-shirts to benefit his lunatic ministry. There’s nothing in his plans about conservation or protecting endangered habitats or species — he’s only hijacking the holiday as a pretext for more god-babbling.

His father, Kent Hovind, gets out of prison in 2015. Then there will be two of these scumbags fleecing the public and lying in the name of their god.
