The Stupidening. An addition.

I bet you know that I hate stupid people. Hell, that sentence was enough to give it away. Sadly, idiots abound on this planet in herds far greater than even the once mighty North American Bison. Unlike our friend the Bison, however, there are no tribesmen gathering together on horseback and forcing idiots off of cliffs in droves. That saddens me further.
As you all have guessed, our country is in the midst of an election for President and this is were the story I am trying to get to comes from. You see, the Republicans nominee for Vice President is a woman named Sarah Palin. She has very little credentials as a candidate, which doesn't bother me too much, credentials, cresmentials as I see it, a person with very few credentials can, sometimes, do the job better than someone who has been doing it for too long and has lost their edge. To clarify, from a personal side of this, I do not like Sarah Palin, I have not met her but I have known enough needy, manipulative, high maintenance women in my life to be able to identify one once I get a sight line on her and I would bet bottom dollar that she is one. Being a dformer beauty pagent contestant doesn't help in this area either. But I digress, I am off track, so back to the story. It goes like this.

I am in line at Cub foods, waiting to make a purchase. There are two middle aged women in front of me, also waiting in line. They are discussing politics. One of them said this.

You must imagine this in the voice it was used, Minnesotan, nasal talk, almost like Fargo but not as over exagerated. Actually, come to think of it, they sounded like Sarah Palin.

" Oh, I tell you, I like that Sarah Palin, she is very well dressed and just sharp as a tack. She doesn't even get angry at all the sexist remarks from that other guy."

To which the other replied.

" Yah I like her too You know that she raised five kids and one of them has mental problems. If you can raise a family that size being the Vice President would be easy. She's got my vote fer sure."

Ladies and gents, as much as I'd like this to be a joke, it is not. I heard it, right there, in the check out line under the eyes of Britney, Angelina, Oprah and Nostredamus. As I pondered the irony of beating these women with a rolled up Oprah magazine, I realized that these were the voters I had been hearing about so much recently. The dumb vote, the idiot vote, the imbecile vote, call it what you will. it is the vote that comes from that portion of our society that wants its voice heard but that is the voice that calls out for the most retarded crap.

I kid you not, that is a real conversation and those were real, uninformed voters. Hell, if that was what it took to be Vice President my mom should have been elected some time ago. She not only raised six children and one of them was me, a child that could considered the "unbreakable" sticker on a Tonka truck to be a personal taunt and challenge from the good people at the Mound Metalcraft Company. The woman should get a medal for that and a cabinet post to boot.

There is a reason I don't go out and mingle that much anymore. I tend to stay at home a lot, watch Survivorman and think about how nice it must be to live like Les Stroud does for seven days. No one around but himself and the opportunity for a lonely yet, highly youtubeable death at the hands of an angry marmosset. It must be so nice to just get away and not hear idiots talk for a few days. That is why my vote will go to the first candidate that comes up with an airtight plan to make it a criminal act for stupid people to breed.

Viva Castration! Bye.
