Neck and Neck

Here's two entries in the stupidest people contest. How would you decide who gets the prize?

Number one:

"On the radio today Medved and Hewitt both asked Obama supporters to call and say why they were supporting their man. Specifics, please. The replies were rather indistinct."

Now I know why the blogs and political satirists are referring to Obama as a Messiah. Can people really be this stupid when it comes to choosing the President of the most powerful nation on the planet??!!! Guess so. (By the way, gotta love that line by the author - "If he (Obama) wins, I do look forward to dissenting; since it’s been established as the highest form of patriotism...")

Number two: "Prince Harry serving on 'secret' mission in Afghanistan."

Apparently the news was published by an Australian women's magazine. New Idea slammed over leak. The editor and his/her staff must all have a vacant space where the brain should be. Talk about giving the Taleban a prize bit of news while at the same time endangering Harry, his comrades-in-arms, and the British government. I would say it's time for our Aussie cousins to cancel their subscriptions while the rest of us write nasty letters.

Good to know the editor of this Aussie publication has more brains. I'm going to see if I can find an email address for New Idea and we can all send them a bit of advice.
