Wow! A myocardial infarction for body AND mind!

It's been a while since I posted some of the funny stuff. But this is a riot. We probably should be dumping on outspoken, red state bullies-- because they're typically as self-righteous as they are rock-stupid.

So enjoy the post at 'Sadly, No!' and be sure to enjoy the hysterical reader comments (including one from a famous Floridian who's still trying desperately to be heard). Wait. First you should get an idea of this southern belle's idea of good home-cookin'. Do the disturbing part before the funny part.

Get a bag of hashbrowns (Oneida [sic] or whatever they sell at the store, they only come in one size) and put the hashbrowns in a casserole dish. Slice up 16 oz. of velveeta cheese in relatively small chunks. Put in 2 cups of mayo. Mix it around.

Right. And garnish with a defibrillator. After you pick your jaw up off the floor, you can have a gander at some of her insightful political essays. If you dare....

"I am writing this to any person who still has a shred of decency, compassion, or kindness in their soul. And, with that, I am giving my thesis to this article: if you endorse human rights, you will be opposed to Islam.

There is a rather arrogant position in the United States and Europe, mostly found among liberals, that the rest of the world is Muslim, and simply would like a violent-free version of Islam, as Shirin Ebadi is supposedly advocating."

A lot of stupidity for just three sentences, no? Ignore the fact that the world's two most populous nations-- China and India-- aren't Muslim, and ignore the laughable assertion that all those who believe in Allah are necessarily "thugs." There's the ugly conflation of "decency, compassion, and kindness" with a call to hate a pretty large group of people-- no exceptions. In fact, the whole steaming turd of an article is filled to the brim with contradictions, factual errors, and sheer stupidity. All served up with a pound of processed cheese and 2 cups of mayo by a total dumbass.
