Jerry’s Blog–Because Wit Happens

Obviously, I disagree with all this, but…it’s funny! (Just trying to be a little fair and balanced here):

Funny stuff from Bill Maher in the LOS ANGELES TIMES:

Never underestimate the ability of a tiny fringe group of losers to ruin everything.

For the last couple of weeks, we’ve all been laughing heartily at the wacky antics of the “birthers” — the far-right goofballs who claim Barack Obama wasn’t really born in Hawaii and therefore the job of president goes to the runner-up, former Miss California Carrie Prejean.

Also, when Obama was sworn in as president, he forgot to give his answer in the form of a question.

And yet, every week, the chorus of conservatives demanding to see his birth certificate grows. It’s like they’re the Cambridge police, Obama’s in his house — the White House — and they need to see some ID.

And there’s nothing anyone can do to convince these folks. You could hand them, in person, the original birth certificate and have a video of Obama emerging from the womb with Don Ho singing in the background … and they still wouldn’t believe it….[Rest of article]

Personally, I love Bill–and I understand where he’s coming from, having seen our country’s collective “intellect” deteriorate starting halfway through the Clinton Administration (not because of Clinton though, but because of Stupid America starting to define him by the quality of his blowjob instead of the quality of his governing–to this day I have friends that, when I mention Clinton, immediately kneejerk into a comment about blowjobs). Then 8 years of Bush and Cheney.

But…I am much more optimistic about our future. The “old folks” of the Religious Right are starting to die off, and being replaced with a new generation of bright, young people. I think the days of candidates like Pat Robertson, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, and their ilk are over. “Stupid” is over; welcome to a Smarter America!
