Dept. of Stupid

Just When You Think It Couldn't be More Stupid 

Now come six proofs that you can have the IQ of a broken toaster and still make it to Washington D.C.

From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation; four U.S. House Representatives from Minnesota, and two from Wisconsin, sent a letter to the Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. 

Their subject? The smoke from Canadian wildfires that were coming south and preventing people in their states from enjoying outdoor summer activities. 

Seriously. 

Since I would not be surprised in the least if you've already started snickering, sure that I'm having you on, here's the story.  It's not behind a paywall, I swear. And it notes with a perfectly straight face, the smoke from U.S. wildfires heading northward. The "Are you actually humans, or malfunctioning Chat GPT programs?" is unspoken.  

These six examples of Darwin's Law are either fully aware of the fatuous asininity exhibited in this letter and are doing it to ingratiate themselves with Dear Leader or to their own MAGA constituents ...

... or they're really that stupid. 

JFC. Once I would have laughed merrily at this. Today I'm perilously close to weeping.

That's right; I remember Emmer getting at least two cheers for doing the bare democratic minimum. I don't know much about Fischbach, and I take it that I shouldn't go hunting for more information.

Oh, well, it's not like she's Michele Bachmann. She was a common or garden Republican, which was annoying enough, but now she's gone full Trumper and is celebrating the murder bill, which will wreck her extremely rural district. She just gets up my nose.

P.

She'd get up my nose as well. Which I would then use a handkerchief on.

With extreme prejudice!
