Proverbial Thump on the Head

I feel the need to bitch about the stupidity that sometimes runs rampant in this world by pointing out a few idiots today:

Scott Peterson--got himself the death penalty for a little "strange." Dumbass.

Top story on local news in the heartland yesterday: Local idiot got himself killed when a homeowner woke to find said idiot breaking into the phone box outside his house. Homeowner fires shotgun through wall of house as homeowner's wife simultaneously fires at suspect out the window of house. Both struck the suspect who subsequently died because Mr. and Mrs. NRA had to drive down to next home to use the phone to call for medical attention because said idiot had cut phone lines.

The construction guy who forgot to drain the hose to the water truck when the forecasted low temp was 20 degrees: On my way to take the girls to school there were 6 ass-cracks huddled around the large rubber hose beating it with sledge hammers, presumably, to break up the ice. On the way home: water gushing from hose that was broken by sledge hammering ass-cracks. (I'm sure that will add a month to projected completion date.)

Then there are the people that may have seemed like idiots at first glance but when you think about it....

The Romanian Prime Minister is offering to sleep with the wives and girlfriends of journalists on a Romanian newspaper to stop them claiming he is gay.
