Hovind is one of those despicable people that prays on the Scientific illiteracy of America. If you listen to his interviews (there are many, but probably the best is on the "Infidel Guy" podcast it's an evolution debate with Hovind and Maximo Pigliucci), he often criticizes the US school-system...saying that they are using his "tax dollars" to teach "nonsense". Hovind is currently serving time after being put away for something like 45 accounts of tax evasion. How ironic.

He is the winner too of the First Annual Golden Crockoduck Award (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC10H2sFigU).
