Today in Stupid Things

Witnessed by me on the back of the car in front of me while I was driving home from the doctor: a piece of regular 8X10 paper with a comment on it that someone had clearly taken time to write, print out, and then tape to the inside of their back windshield:

“Boy do I regret that Obama vote! Shoulda voted for RON PAUL! Then I’d still have my car and my “Stimulas” money!”

Where to begin? First of all, uninformed person, even if you had voted for Ron Paul, he still wouldn’t have won. Not even close. You can regret your vote all you want, of course. That’s your prerogative. In fact, I’ve felt a bit of annoyance at President Obama lately, as he continues to mealy-mouth about the fact that the House health care bill throws women’s health under the bus. I find it cowardly that he wants to pass some sort, any sort, of bill so badly that he’d go along with a plan that doesn’t care about the health and well-being of more than half our population (although I still would have voted for him, because if I had voted for, say, Ron Paul? He still wouldn’t have been elected).

Secondly, here’s how you spell that big Latin word: Stimulus. No ‘a’ in there anywhere. Now, maybe your word-processing program doesn’t have a spell-check? Or maybe it underlined “stimulas” in red but you thought, “Well, of course it doesn’t recognize that word!” But it does. This one does, Microsoft Word does, they all do. It makes it hard to take you seriously when you can’t spell the very thing you’re railing against. You hate the stimulus so much? Maybe before you should learn how to spell it, then. Because right now your rants make you look not-so-smart. I’m just saying. Another helpful tip: stimulus doesn’t need to be in quotes. It’s a for-real, actual word in English.

And finally, I understand from inference that you no longer have a car. But your message is on the back windshield of someone’s car. Whose is it? Could it be…Ron Paul’s?!??!!!!??!?
