Somewhere in Dumb America…
Stupidity…not uniquely American, by any means, but we do seem to have a nasty epidemic of it…
Try this one on for size: ‘Town Makes it Illegal to Fly a Foreign Flag’:
Pahrump resident Michael Miraglia proposed the ban because, he said, he got upset when he saw immigrant activists marching through U.S. cities last spring, waving Mexican flags.
And here’s the kicker:
Mr. Miraglia told USA Today that he was especially miffed that “we had Mexican restaurants closed that day.”
I’ve often felt that same rage when pulling up to the only decent taco joint in Central Vermont, El Sol, and finding it closed. I usually go on a midnight rampage and take down the flags at the local Canadian club.
Bonus idiot, ‘cuz I like you all (and you’re gonna give me 4,000 hits before FBC’s Dec. 19th birthday, right?)’ : LA Times: ‘Bomb Iran’. Well, the author is from the American Enterprise Institute, so we shouldn’t be surprised. What’s this? He also gets the coveted ‘douchenozzle of the week ‘ award due to the fact that the CIA is saying, according to Hersh in the New Yorker, that:
The C.I.A. found no conclusive evidence, as yet, of a secret Iranian nuclear-weapons program running parallel to the civilian operations that Iran has declared to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
