With nearly 40% of Americans now classified as obese - we now know what’s causing the long-running stupidity problem in the US. An excess of fat intake causes reduced oxygen flow to muscles and brain. Certainly a followup study needs to look at the percentage of obese citizens who vote Republican. I think we already know - just look at the rad right shock jocks and political operatives: Rush, Beck, Rove, etc. They’re all pale, fat and balding - and the liberal meanies: Stewart, Colbert, Obermann, Mahar, etc - are lean and smart!</p> The research is in and was published today in a credible British medical journal: high fat diets cause laziness and stupidity.

Pelosi and crew declined to impeach anyone in the Bush Administration. What would Obama and Democratic leadership and their elite supporters have to do before we saw impeachment of anyone in the Obama administration? Let’s just hope–and I emphasize ‘hope’ here for several obvious reasons–they, the Democratic leadership, are less loony than the Bushites, keeping our eye on the ball, that ball being the Bill of Rights and the adherence to actual enforcement of the laws in the United States.</p> <p>So far, what’s the score? Not good. So, before you go knocking the ‘teabaggers’, let’s realize that some of the points they’re making are entirely valid, maybe not a large part of the things they’re talking about…but let’s please, please, please not attack them on points they are accurate about…namely that WE too, not just THEY, are seeing a lawlessness that is undermining the stability of the United States, both as a trustworthy power in the world but also as an economic engine, let alone a so-called “bastion of freedom”?! The American Empire is suffering and it is not the ‘teabaggers’ that are causing the problem. No, their movement is a symptom, not a cause per se. And it is sad when the symptoms are growing in strength. For the longer the symptoms grow, the more painful the cure.</p> Watertiger, let’s be honest about this shall we?

Particularly pertinent to today’s news is ‘The Stupids Die’. They think that they have died when the lights suddenly go out.
