The level of weaponized stupid seen in those comments is the same level of weaponized stupid that allows Our Mr. Brooks to have a career as a pundit, rather than something better suited to his actual skill set (like, say, licking squirrel anuses on Daniel Tosh's lawn), and I'm not sure our culture will, or even <i>can</i>, survive that much stupid in a form capable of giving rise to the debate between Historicals and Fictionals. I'm not 100% sure our <i>species</i> will survive. I refer, again, to the purple but smoking words of Bukko Canukko:<br /><br /><i>If [Unistat] just falls apart quickly, and brings the rest of the current pollution-spewing pattern of civilization down with it, maybe there's a chance for the current evolution of life on Earth to survive.</i>Neo Tuxedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455041641080873400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-63071672152529643242014-08-10T09:14:53.573-05:002014-08-10T09:14:53.573-05:00Sunday Morning Coming Down Alert - Dave Gregory...Sunday Morning Coming Down Alert - Dave Gregory's Troll Train Dance Party is saluting "We Love the 90's" and hosting argle bargle argle who were involved in Clinton's impeachment.
