Boy, it's been a long time!
I've been swamped at work so I haven't had much time to put out anything even remotely thought provoking.
I'm torn between how get's the FART today. I was thinking about giving it to G W Bush... for his normal round of stupidity. I was thinking of giving it VA politician George Allen for spam calling my house to tell me to vote for him and his homophobic self. But I think I'll give it to John Kerry.
As you may know John Kerry got caught trying to imply that Bush is stupid and his delivery made it look like he was saying that members of the US military are stupid. I'm giving Kerry the benefit of the doubt that he messed up the delivery of a weak joke, so the FART isn't for that... it's for his apology.
He shouldn't have apologized.
I don't think there's anything wrong with telling people that they should stay in school, get educated and stay the hell out of the military. It's a good way to get killed these days.
I'm not saying all people in the military are stupid. Some very much are, though. There's also a reason why recruiters are targeting troubled high schoolers too. The military isn't looking for the best and brightest. If they did, they'd pay better.
If I were John Kerry, I'd stand by my statement. Get an education and don't get sent off to die as the puppet of a mental midget.
