Constantine Xinos doesn’t like poor people. I say that not because I’m reading that statement into his actions, past and present, but because he actually said it. “I don’t want to live next to poor people. I don’t want poor people in my town.” If, as he contends, that he speaks for Oak Brook Village in his battle against the elderly and now the Librarians and children then all I have to say to Xinos and the rest of Oak Brook Village is screw you stupid people!
House Minority Leader can’t find anyone who supports the public option. “I’m still trying to find the first American to talk to who’s in favor of the public option, other than a member of Congress or the administration,” said Rep. Boehner. What can I say about that? The man is either completely dishonest or an incredible moron. Is there a reason he can’t be both?
Mont Blanc has just come out with a $23,000 pen to commemorate the birth of Gandhi. I generally have nothing against Mont Blanc but this is monumentally stupid. How many of the poverty-stricken souls in India and indeed across the world would this gold cluster-fuck of a commemorative remembrance feed? My guess is quite a few.
If Mont Blanc are looking for truly good ideas they should start looking in places where smart people dwell instead of in Donald Trump’s crapper.
This is a new movie from the American Family Association. I wish we could stop arguing about this but clearly we can’t because while some of us are smart and can accept not only the preponderance of the ever growing mountain of evidence, but also the broad consensus of scientific professional opinion; others demonstrate a lack of smart. A deficiency that some might call intelligence-challenged, others call brutally ignorant but that I label just plain stupid!
Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) called President Obama an ‘Enemy of Humanity’ recently. Look at this guy, he not only sounds like a tool, he looks like one too. The honorable crackpot from Arizona needs to take a good long hard look in the mirror and realize that he’s not exactly an expert on the best qualities of humanity.
Westboro Baptist Church went to Park Slope in Brooklyn to picket some Synagogues. Here is a local blog post about it. I think they’re starting to get desperate for attention. What’s next for them? No idea, if I never witness this level of stupid again I’ll die a happy man; however, I think this was a particularly stupid move for these idiots. I think they should go to Brooklyn and the Bronx every day, that way maybe NYC can teach them a lesson or two.
Thank you Democrats for grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. A very good friend of mine balked at voting for the Green party candidate for mayor saying that he’d vote for a third party when there was a real chance that they’d win. How do you like that chicken-egg logic? If there weren’t enough evidence already that the Democrats have replaced the Republicans as conservatives this is just one more log to add to the fire. If the Green Party are the progressives, the Democrats the conservatives, then just what are the Republicans? I can’t even tell you, they’re THAT crazy.
Looking at these pictures my mind immediately wants them all to be viewing porn of some kind. Microsoft wants you to throw a launch party to help them look cool like Apple. I say look cool because they can never be cool. The part I’m waiting for is to hear about people actually doing this and the difficulties they’ll have when the inevitable boot errors and blue-screens-of-death rear their ugly heads. Frustration + Party = Stupid marketing campaign. Maybe the video professor can help, he’s cool isn’t he?
Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland. Many people, including his victim, would like him to be released. Sorry Roman, but despite your greatness, you’re a sleazeball for committing rape. 13-year-old girl should be put through what you put her through. Lots of excuses are being made for him including the ‘Hey, it was the ’70’s, crazy shit like that happened!’ defense. Batshit stupid is what that kind of thinking is. He should do jail time for committing one of the worst crimes you can commit. Maybe while you’re at it grab up Woody Allen for good measure. Here’s a good round up of this insanity.
Meg Whitman, founder of Ebay, has announced her intention to run for the Governor of California. That doesn’t sound stupid until you hear her talk about what she intends to do for California. She is so concerned about job losses in the state that she wants to gut the environmental protections and workers rights. Not to mention that she’s had ZERO political interest in the past and now, when it suits her, she wants to come and have us elect her. In fact she couldn’t even be troubled to cast her vote during any election in the past 20 years. Her qualifications? She’s wealthy, she’s rich and she’s got a lot of money.
Here are some bullet points from her website:
Isn’t that trickle-down economics? Why can’t we get rid of this crappy idea? Business already skirts so many taxes that they might as well pay nothing at all. How much more can we cut the rules that they already avoid? Why not, it’s not her kids going into the grinder.
What she means here is get rid of worker protections that people have actually died for. Why not, it’s not her kids going into the grinder. Thanks, but no thanks Meg! I like my 40-hour work week, thank you very much.
With what taxes? You gave that away and then, like Arnold before you, will have to go on TV and talk about how everyone has to do their part. Everyone except you and your family that is. What she’s alluding to here is that you’ll get loads of water for the Central Valley for agriculture, and your screwed if you’re a salmon.
The big lie of nuclear energy. It’s not cheap. It’s not clean. It’s not safe! Just ask Tony Benn and he’ll tell you all about it.
Are the things that are cost effective the ONLY things worth doing? I’m all for creativity, but not for bullshit like this bullet point.
We have done impact studies out the wazoo already. What she’s saying here is that she wants to get rid of as many of these regulations as possible. Just like all Republicans, if she is one, she espouses that regulation got us where we are today. This is nonsense.
We didn’t just womp up an environmental law like this. People had input and it is necessary now, not later. That’s worth repeating, NOW NOT LATER!
Meg Whitman, didn’t she run eBay? eBay is cool, therefore she must be really smart and able to deal with our problems as a state right? Wrong! Expertise in one area, if you agree she does indeed have that expertise to begin with, is not transferable to another area. Take for instance a conversation that I had with a programmer friend of mine about AIDS victims. He said that it would be far cheaper to round up all of the people who suffer from AIDS and put them on an island in order to care for them. Economies of scale and all that jazz. Yes, it would be cheaper if you could magically make it happen; however, you’d lose a bit of your humanity in the bargain by doing something so monstrous. I’m not suggesting that she’s a monster,– I’m more flat out saying it,– but the point is that her alleged competence in business does in no way makes her qualified to be Governor of the state of California. Look at what a disaster Arnold has been.
George Carlin used to talk about what labels like ‘Chocolaty’ mean- ” In this case it means no fucking chocolate.” In the case of Meg Whitman, when she says that she’s for the environment when the time is right, it means that she’d personally strangle a sea otter if you gave her twenty bucks. That’s it and boy is it stupid.
