Random things I can’t believe that people actually believe

- Global warming is a liberal hoax based on junk sciense

- Barack Obama is a:

(a) Muslim (nothing wrong with being a Muslim, of course, but he’s a Christian)

(b) terrorist (Lupe Fiasco, I smirk in your general direction)

(c) community organizer who wants God to damn the country (direct quote from my cousin’s wife, one of the most shockingly ignorant people I’ve ever met, a.k.a. someone who grew up in Bakersfield, CA)

(d) citizen of Kenya

- Bush knocked down the towers (Jadakiss, I’m looking at you)

- That Sarah Palin is someone to look up to, or listen to.  

- That what Anthony Weiner did is worse than what David Vitter did

- That gay people choose to be gay, and that they have some sort of evil “agenda” (I live in West Hollywood.  As far as I can tell, a big part of their agenda consists of working out a lot and eating healthy, so we have a lot in common besides the sex with members of the same gender thing).

- That undocumented aliens caused the wildfires in Arizona (John McCain, it’s time to retire.)

- “Intelligent Design”

- That believing in god is somehow superior to not believing in god.

- That there even IS a god (seriously).

- That 2 1/2 Men is funny

As far as I’m concerned, nothing on this list is even remotely debatable, yet so much energy is wasted on all of this crap (especially the 2 1/2 Men thing).  I consider myself to be a pretty informed, passionate person about politics and I just wanna shoot myself in the face after 5 minutes of cable news, etc.  I’m glad to have Olbermann back because he makes me feel relatively calm, if nothing else.  No small task.  Now I’m going to tag this post with stuff like Jersey Shore and Britney Spears so people are confused. 

Good night.
