It's so stupid, it might just work

Facebook poll: Can the USA spend its way out of debt?

It makes about as much sense as keeping your virginity by having sex, protecting our children from child pornography by making them child pornographers, preserving freedom by curtailing civil liberties and Constitutional rights, and the ever popular concept of picking up a turd by the [...]

Critical Mass

Some days, I really find it difficult, in the face of absurdity, to remain calm and ask myself, “What would Buddha do?” Let’s face it, I’m not as Zen-like as I want to be and when faced with unbounded absurdity and absolute stupidity, my gut reaction is to shout out, “What the fuck are you [...]

The U.S. Failed To Understand

Stupid in America discusses education (or the lack of it) in America. It’s rather obvious to the most casual observer that many (most?) of our school systems are failing. “Despite spending a record-breaking $10,000 a student a year, [the U.S.] still ranks 25th out of 40 countries that took an international standardized test. Ahead of [...]

The road to stupid is paved with good intentions.

The Byrds – Turn! Turn! Turn!

Today’s Quote: “It’s not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you.” — Frank Zappa

Things that pegged my Stupidity Meter today:
I heard something on the news this morning that just sent my stupidity meter into the red. Two teenagers are suing McDonald’s for not disclosing something about their food that supposedly made [...]

“All the stupid people, where do they all come from?
All the stupid people, where do they all belong?”

Well, that’s how Lennon and McCartney would have written it if they’d ever driven in Dayton. Honestly, I’ve never seen so many stupid people concentrated in one metropolitan area. What makes it worse is that when one person [...]
