Stupid Stupidity

So far the page-a-day stupidity calendar isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's supposed to be "The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said," but -- well, today's is a newspaper headline, and yesterday's was a book title. These don't really qualify as stupid things people said -- not in my opinion, anyway. Especially when people are actually out there saying really stupid things, right now!

Yesterday's book title entry: "Simply Bursting: A Guide to Blanner Control". Okay, this was someone trying to be clever and failing miserably. But it in no way rivals stuff that comes out of our President's mouth on a daily basis.
  • "Tribal sovereignty means that, it's sovereign. You're a—you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities."
  • "It's a time of sorrow and sadness when we lose a loss of life."
  • "Free societies will be allies against these hateful few who have no conscience, who kill at the whim of a hat."
  • "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."
  • "I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein."
  • "Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me."
  • "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
And so on, seemingly ad infinitum.
