Rise of the culturally stupid

*Sigh* Where do these people come from?

In Utah, Burger King has been forced to apologize to a mother who breastfed her child in a restaurant. Yes, it is entirely legal to do so in that state.

No matter what your stance is on gays, you’ve got to consider that putting up a statue commemorating Matthew Shepard’s death is pretty deplorable. Especially in his hometown. Especially when it pretty much laughs and says he went to hell. Especially when a reverand is behind it all. You can read about this pathetic miscreant imbecile and his sick plans here.

Evil Ned points us to a bit of revisionist history at Time magazine. I’ve taken the liberty of using the Wayback Machine to verify the story (this is what I came up with).

Jessica Lynch suddenly realizes that she has been used by the government (curiously after her book came out). Go figure. I’ve heard enough rips on this gal from my brother to feel that I am unworthy of speaking out about how much a disservice this whole thing has been to her, us, and – more importantly – every other soldier that was captured, injured, or killed in Iraq.

Maybe we’re all working (or trying to find work) in the wrong fields. CBS has a story about the 10 most overpaid jobs in the US.
