The Stupidest Thing I've Read Today

I've got $20 that says I can make the following happen:



Let's say, for instance, CNN decides, for the next two years or so, to put out reports that the sky is green. More than that, the green sky might be bad for Americans. For two years, every damned day, CNN has talking bobbleheads and "experts" constantly grinding into their viewers heads that the sky is green and this fact poses a danger to us. CNN also manages, though its various "news" talk shows, to drill the fact that anyone who says otherwise is a traitor who wants us all to die, especially those snooty scientists who just don't "understand the danger".



After two years, a reputable polling outfit asks the question: what color is the sky? Have them break it down any way they like. But I'd bet $20 that you'd find (a) at least 10% of the respondents will, in fact, say that the sky is green and (b) at least 30% "are not sure". Which really is a nice little appellation that means "I think it's green, but I don't want to sound like an uneducated rube, because I was paying more attention in high school science to the head cheerleader/star quarterback/cute nerd(ette) in the front of the class".



In other words, this is the stupidest poll of all time. What does it matter what color you think the sky is? What does it matter what religion President Obama is or is not? Not in the least. (And for the record, for you slow kids in the audience, HE IS A CHRISTIAN. OR WERE YOU SLEEPING THROUGH THE ELECTION? MAYBE THAT'S HOW YOU COMPLETELY MISSED THAT WHOLE FLAP WITH HIS FORMER PASTOR WHO SAID "GOD DAMN AMERICA" FROM THE PULPIT OF HIS OWN CHURCH?)



The man could be an atheist, and he would still light years of such political luminaries as, oh, five-time-married-former-drug-addict Rush Limbaugh.



Or cheated-on-his-wife-while-she-was-in-the-hospital Newt Gingrich.



Or sleeps-with-a-hooker-who-looks-like-his-wife David Vitter.



Or trolls-in-public-bathrooms-for-black-cock Bob Allen.



Or his-first-girlfriend-was-a-mule Neal Horsley.



Or I-love-texting-young-men-on-my-Blackberry.



The point of all this stupidity with the poll, of course, is to somehow prove that somehow President Obama is less morally upright when he says that "Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else". He must be one of those people, because who else but one of those people would let those people into this country with their strange foods and strange music and strange ways? Certainly not a nice safe, white Southerner, that's for sure.



The lone exception, of course, to that standard being Bill Clinton. Because he married Hillary, of course. And you know how those women are.



Anyway, stupid poll. Stupid question. Like trying to debate about the color of the sky.

Americans uncertain about Obama's faith

WASHINGTON — Nearly one in five Americans incorrectly say President Obama is a Muslim, up from 11% last year, according to a Pew Research Center poll released today. In the survey, about one-third of Americans correctly say Obama is a Christian, down from 48% who said so last year. In all, 43% say they do not know what religion Obama practices. The survey "shows a general uncertainty and confusion about the president's religion," said Alan Cooperman, associate director of research with the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
