I'm not very smart and I don't know a lot about the world, so I tend to look to people who are smart to help me understand the world. The smart people seem to think that we need to lower taxes and increase military funding. Some advocate the weaponization of space. But what with medicine and health insurance getting more expensive, it sure does seem to me that maybe a national health care system would also be something to invest in. But like I said, I'm not very smart. If I were smart, I'd have thought up the Walrus. What a great idea! The little brown people in the tropics can stop working on widening the Panama Canal. Once our mighty fleet of blimps is in the stratosphere, there will be no need for canals, airports, spy planes, or even the slightest trace of humility. America will be waaay beyond Thunderdome baby!

Ah well...what do I care. I'll be drunk.

ITEM: Earlier this month, WorldNetDaily, an otherwise useless right-wing "news" outfit, gave us this outstanding headline:

Retarded Christian teen's desecration of Quran reportedly incites attack.

How true. How very true in many, many ways.
