Wow, that's soooooo scientific! Sciencewoman does not like this.

I used to write for a children's tv show, which of course included "stranger danger". One of my coworkers at the time spouted this off as truth almost weekly. I know the psychologist who told it to her, but not from whence it comes. Stupidity, perhaps?

Fascinating, actually.

I heard on the news today that they are trying to get him to step down himself but it seems like he's not open to that idea. This will be fun to watch.

While we are waiting for the next "stupid politician" to open their mouth. I thought it would be fun to remember some of the profoundly stupid quotes of past idiots.

Oh, I'm so glad I can tell my former student who was raped as a (virgin) freshman that OBVIOUSLY all her psychological trauma wasn't real - if it had been a "legitimate" rape she OBVIOUSLY would not have become pregnant. Whew.

It's idiots like this that make a lot of people think that Republicans as a whole are not rational and are complete morons. It's embarrassing. We are not all like this jerkoff, I swear.

Actually, the reason I think my republican friends are a bit irrational in this case isn't because I think they are at all like Akin. I know they aren't. They are great people, actually. What makes them irrational is that they are still going to vote for him, simply because he is republican.

When I first heard it on the news, I thought "Is he a product of abstinence only sex ed?
My second thought was "Are there people who will believe this is true because he said it?"

I'm not a Republican but I feel bad for you if that's what they think of you.

I am. This little gem of stupidity was not covered in the class. At all.

Then they are just like the Democrat idiots who will vote Democrat regardless of what is being said. They are also like the voters who will vote for one candidate because they do not like the other candidate or the other political party. They are also just like the people who will vote for the candidate who fits a certain demographic (gender, race, social class, religion, region of the country, etc.).
All politicians suck and all politics suck. Research and critique all of it.

Here's a beautifully written letter in response to Mr. Akin's statements:

Also, I'm embarrassed by the fact that he's from my adopted home state.

I hate to say this, and no offense to those from Missouri, but when my mom told me what bonehead said and she mentioned he is from Missouri I said "that explains everything".
He's just a moron. Rape is rape is rape. End of discussion. period.
