Are You Serious?

Hello My Dear Friends. Nothing like a little fresh catnip to kickoff the weekend! My friends, in this crazy, mixed up world there is stupid and there's that special kind of stupid that just leaves you shaking your head. It's that special kind of stupid that brings us here today. Let's start with Illinois State Representative Monique Davis who, during an interview on a Detroit radio station, said "many members of her community" believe it is actually the police shooting young black men on the street of Chicago. When questioned how she could make such an outrageous statement without any proof, she said she didn't actually say it, she repeated it. Huh? She went on to say that she didn't think her comments would "draw national attention". Um, you said them on the radio. You know people can hear you when you do that, right? She further defended her comments by saying she didn't actually believe that the police were gunning down young black men but she has a right to publicly "repeat what members of her community tell her". Seriously? Next, the President of the United States took the opportunity, while speaking to workers at an Amazon.com warehouse in Tennessee, to blame Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for basically destroying the moral fabric of America's youth. Yup! He called them out by name, saying their antics on Reality TV have turned an entire generation into fame seekers. Now, even though I agree that Kim and Kanye suck, I'm pretty sure this generation was tainted long before Keeping up with the Kardashians hit the airwaves. I guess all we need to do is cancel that show and this Country will be back on track! Wow, who knew it was that simple. That's why he's the King President. Finally, last night CNN had a "Breaking News Exclusive"! CNN reports there may be a CIA cover up regarding the terrorist attack in Benghazi! It took them 11 months to figure that out? Apparently CNN has learned that CIA operatives with knowledge of the events last September 11th are being polygraphed monthly to make sure they aren't talking to Congress or the media. Really CNN? That's what tipped you off. That whole ridiculous story about the protest over a video gone awry didn't raise any flags? The 12 versions of talking points on the attack didn't pique your interest? No? Well then, I'm glad someone told you about the polygraph tests. That's just reporting at it's finest. Good for you CNN! Finally, the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper, who was caught on tape hurling the dreaded N-Word racial slur, has been "excused" from all team activities to seek counseling. "Excused", of course, means suspended. It should go without saying that using that word is wrong. It should but it doesn't. Once again, a person has lost their job for using a bad word. So, the last award for that special kind of stupid goes to me. That's right, me. I must be stupid because, once again, I'm confused. San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver, Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Johnathan Vilma of the New Orleans Saints and Tank Carder of the Cleveland Browns have all hurled very public Anti-Gay slurs. They were fined but none of them were ever suspended or "excused" from their teams. Why? I guess that's the stupidest question of all. Enjoy the weekend!
