There's been a lot of really really stupid things happening out there. The wingnut Right is just getting crazier and crazier, led by the pied pipers of idiocy Rush and Beck and all the other professional rabble-rousers.

But this whole thing about not letting kids see the talk by the President of the United States just really freakin' annoys me. I've been shaking my head at the rampant stupidity that is being shown in this country. And I was getting ready to really really have a good rant.

Then I came across this:

Finally, consider the message that you're sending to your kid. Here's the message: "If you so much as think that you are going to disagree with what someone has to say (even if that person is the President of the United States of America), you don't have to give that person the time of day." Let me know how that message tastes when it's reheated and served back to you when your kid is a teenager.

And I realized he said it better than I could. So JaBbA says go read the whole thing.

Oh, yeah. It's not that I ever left. I just kinda needed to take a break. We'll see what happens. I've got some things to say - meantime, follow me on Twitter if you want.
