Seriously, how dumb can we get?

George Bush is apparently viewed as a "regular guy" by folks asked who they would rather have a barbecue with. Let's make a point here. Regular guys are not born into riches, go to two Ivy League schools, allowed to shirk military duty without punishment, and have the Supreme Court allow them to be president. Unless, that is, you consider clumsiness, the inability to speak the English language, and the means to buy your way to the presidency things regular guys do. Personally, I see that we have two elitists running for office; I'm just planning to vote for the one not trying to get my family killed.

Other morons. Kids who see vandalism as harmless fun. Also, look at the pic attached to this article and ask yourself if the First Amendment should give either of these clowns the right to be racist pigs. PUT THE SHEET ON YOU PORCINE VIOLATION!

Genius idiot of the week: Donald Rumsfeld, in trying to recover from the prisoner abuse debacle, has banned the use of camera phones amongst our armed forces. Yeah, let's not try to fix the problem; just hide the evidence.

In a related vein, I continue to hear from people who do not want to even acknowledge that some of our troops are fools who could actually sink to such wretched levels. They too just want to pretend and make it go away. Look, the quicker we accept responsibility for the situation and punish those at fault, the less the rest of our troops over there are in danger from those who would otherwise stand on the sidelines. It's called personal responsibility. Take the blame, fix the problem. Try it sometime. For those GOP members, I suggest starting November at your local polling place if not before. I mean, its not like the current resident of the Oval Office is ever going to admit a mistake.

Slate tackles the whole price of gas issue and raises some serious points. One being the fact that we are nominally an OPEC member right now so why not use that to our advantage? Another article addresses how to make voting interesting again.

I've been waiting for this one to get online in full form: Blender brings you the 50 Worst Songs Ever.

Also, we've killed the Irish lifestyle. Plus, your doctor needs to take his necktie off before he kills you.

Lastly, from EvilNed, titled: This Week's Sign of the Apocalypse. Cringe in fear.
