Pardon me if I offend: 4, The Stupidining continues.

I hate people, all week I have been pointing out that the America is filled with dim witted, poorly educated, paranoid, lazy morons. I have been trying to show people my point of view using various examples but, honestly, was having trouble finding something recent to display this to you. Well, I gotta say, if you want something, just stop lookig for it and it will find you. Tonight I was home watching Jeopardy, no real plans for what to write, when my buddy Jeff called me. "Dude, did you here about the Mooninite garbage in Boston"? Jeff asked ". No" was my reply. I have since updated myself on this news story and it goes a bit like this.
One Mr. Peter Berdovsky, was arrested and is facing charges of "placing a hoax device in a way that results in a panic" this is a felony charge in our paranoid country by the way, Berdovsky was arrested for, allegedly placing as many as nine LED displays of the mooninite Ignignokt, from Cartoon Networks, Aqua Teen Hungerforce, in various locations in the Boston area. Eventually some wingnut, non-cartoon watching fudgepucker, discovered on of these lite-bright displays and, being the nervous nelly type of fathead that is thriving in our modern post 911 world, called the bomb squad. The bomb squad shut down several major bridges and intersections in Boston, blocking up traffic for hours and, now this is a big one, they detonated one of the LEDs. They did it, they finally went and did it, they blew it up! (go Chuck Heston, NRA forever). Okay, not to throw caution to the wind or anything but, if you work for the bomb squad, shouldn't you, as an explosives expert be relatively aware of the make up of a bomb? If you look this story up on CNN. com you can see a picture of the LED in question, I am no bomb expert but I am a cartoon genius, this item would have made me laugh and probably steel it,(okay Marty, definately steel it), at no point would I have thought, "oh no a bomb"! You can not fault the bomb squad guys for making it go explodey, however because you know if you could go around blowing things up for work, you would do the same thing. To continue, Massachusetts Attorney General, the honorable Martha Coakley, when asked about the device was quoted as saying,"It was a very sinister looking device, it had a battery behind it and wires". I have to wonder how a person who defines sinister in such a way, can possibly cope with living in a world so full of sinister devices, all the alarm clock bombs that wake you in the morning, a city park filled with joggers and their MP3 player bombs, how brave you are Martha, to walk in a world that, by your logic, is virtually filled with bombs. Oh never mind I remember how I can define you, I can define you as another one of the moronic, fear mongering, personality deficient, idiots who are trying to hold on to their jobs by keeping the American people in the dark about reality. The icing on the cake is, that even after Turner Broadcasting apologized for the misunderstanding, Coakley and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino are still considering a civil suit to recover the "hundreds of thousands of dollars", it cost the city to respond to the bomb scare. Oh good another frivolous law suit from some idiots who want to sue someone else for their own stupidity. Yes I do agree that a bomb scare is a frightening thing to go through but, a world full of oafish dunderheads that hold public office is far more terrifying. I di support the people in this world who risk their lives to save ours and keep us generaly safe but I hate these bumbling politicos that blow everything out of proportion. If you read this today, and you are in the Boston area, please go and support Mr. Berdovsky, he was doing his job, he wasn't trying to scare people, he is not Osama, he is a guy who needed money and he is facing a felony charge. I hope he is set free, of course and if he is not, I would like to also point out that these ATHF displays have been set up in nine, count 'em, nine other major US cities and so far Boston is the only one that has pulled this level of stupidity.

Peter Berdovsky is being arraigned at 9 0' clock AM, Thursday morning at the Charlstown District Courthouse. Free country my ass. By the way you can also call Martha Coakleys office at (617) 727-2200.
