Things I Need to Comment On, or How the Vast Majority of Sheeple Make Me Crazy




It never ceases to amaze me how people declare their Darwin Award candidacy on a daily basis. Cases in point:

-- One of the Kardashian daughters (I don't care which one) just married an L.A. Laker after the long courtship of ONE MONTH. Yeah. Right. That relationship will certainly see a Silver Anniversary.

-- There are a group of
idiots conservatives out there that have decided that the Bible is too liberal. This is spearheaded by Andy Schlafly, son of longtime idiot conservative Phyllis Schlafly. They are setting up a Wikipedia-type Bible site so other idiots conservatives can edit it to make it "right". I don't even care about the Bible, but don't you have something better to do with your time?

-- Two-timing married politicians. Did you really think no one would ever find out? Did you really think your email is private? Do you really think, if we even remotely had any faith in you before this happened, that we would have a "let bygones be bygones" attitude about this? Just resign already and go back into the hole you crawled out of. We sympathize with your wife, not you.

-- Sarah Palin. Why does anyone give this Darwin Award finalist any press time whatsoever?

-- American Idol. I can proudly say I have never watched one second (literally) of this ridiculous show. When will the insanity end?

-- The Oblivious Drivers. I only say this as I was stuck behind them in traffic for a LONG time yesterday, so they and my frustration with them is really on my mind today.

-- The winner of the Most Influential Man of 2009 award was a FICTIONAL TV CHARACTER. From Mad Men. 1960's. Not a real person. Not the actor, mind you, but his character. Barack Obama was third in the vote. We're going straight to hell in a handbasket, at warp speed.

-- We watch the Dumbest Criminals show on TruTV (or one of those channels). Chock full of utter morons. We saw one stupid criminal get locked in after trying to rob a convenience store, and he was so desperate to get out that he gave the clerk back not only the money he stole, but his $20 allowance as well. The clerk called the cops and his parents. Mensa material, this one.

-- Being a horse trainer, I constantly see people buying the wrong horse, and doing it long before they're ready for horse ownership. I love horses, and they are "it" for me, but horse ownership is intensive, everyday work. Just because you saw "The Black Stallion" when you were 12 and think horses are beautiful, does not mean you know how to be a horse owner. I see these people who feel they have a magical bond with horses, so they MUST know how to take care of them by instinct alone. NOT TRUE. Get help. Get help now and for at least a year or more. Then we'll see if you really want to buy and own a horse. The main problem with these people is that the one who pays the price for the owner's ignorance is the horse. This principle applies to most other animals and children as well. I hate to see the most vulnerable ones pay the biggest price.

Those are my comments for today. Got anything to add?
