Right. Unless someone in the Joint Chiefs is leaking there is no way we would know at present.
Does it seem like the pace of stupid is picking up? Like, hourly instead of daily?
That’s just the air pressure created as patriotic Republicans rush to rally around the Commander in Chief when there’s a crisis.
You mean there is a Republican Stupidity Barometer? Who has it?
Can a barometer have negative numbers?
It can if things suck.
If I was in charge of generating right-wing stupidity (and that’s a real job, right?) I would start spreading the story that the Secret Service hates the Obamas so much that they didn’t particularly care if somebody hops the fence with a knife.
Just want to get the prediction on the record.
I have to withdraw my question. I was mistakenly thinking of an intelligence barometer, which really makes no sense at all for the Republican party. But a Stupidity barometer can indeed have all positive numbers for them, and extend up to infinity.
The whole ‘Republicans are People’ thing isn’t going so well for them.
The Republican candidate for Attorney General of Arkansas is unclear on the concept “one voter registration per person”:
This is something she really ought to have gotten right, what with it making her ineligible for state office. :smack:
Did you read the article? I’m down with Republicans getting their registration cancelled like they do to other folks, but she is registered to vote in Arkansas and has done so for a few elections. No one (well, nearly no one) actually goes to the trouble of cancelling their previous registration. And apparently, the clerk who took her registration in 2013 was apparently supposed to handle the cancellation part (although I’d guess that is really aimed at in-state, as opposed to attempting to figure all jurisdictions someone might have previously been registered to vote in).
The Boston Herald is a rag, always has been. This cartoon is a bit over the top even for them, but not as much as their non-apology: They “sincerely regret if we inadvertently offended anyone”.
Texas state senator compares being Christian in America to being Jewish in the Holocaust. Or something like that . . .
It takes a special kind of wilful ignorance to claim “watermelon flavored toothpaste” was inadvertent.
But they’re just saying that the wackjob who got into the White House is probably racist, right? I don’t think it’s great humor, but it’s not offensive in itself (except maybe to the wackjob, if he’s going to claim he isn’t racist).
That might even be plausible if that’s what they claimed – to show that the intruder was a racist. But that’s not what they claimed, they said race wasn’t an issue at all.
I call voter fraud on the Arkansas AG candidate. I mean, they don’t want black people voting, why should they be allowed to vote in violation of the state laws.
Former Secret Service agent: Allen West should be placed in charge of the Secret Service. This is the same Allen West who was booted from the Army, right?

Great, just what we need, more ammunition for the “Libruls think Obama is teh Messiah!!!1!” derptards.
