From Blame Bush . . . er, wait, if I quote it, I’ll ruin the whole thing for you (hint: it’s the last line). Read it. Hat tip to Maggie’s Farm.
Our first Clown Award went to Sheila Jackson-Lee for her federal hate crimes bill. Jackson-Lee may be the only member of Congress as stupid as Charlie Rangel.
Our second Clown Award went to Janet LaRue, for wanting to protect our troops against pornography (oh no! not pornography! oh dear! oh no!)
Our third Clown Award went to the motorists who did not run over activists playing speedbump. Stupid motorists. Bad motorists.
Our latest Clown Award goes to Florida state senator Frederica Wilson for this idiocy:
TALLAHASSEE — A state legislator whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants wants to ban the term “illegal alien” from the state’s official documents.
And why does she want to do this? Wait for it . . .
“I personally find the word ‘alien’ offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children,” said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami. “An alien to me is someone from out of space.”
She’s a liberal, she’s offended, and she wants to pass a law! Stop the presses!
For her mouthbreathing narcissistic stupidty, Senator Wilson gets the red rubber nose. Wear it with pride! And Senator Wilson, were you one of the morons in Florida who couldn’t figure out how to vote?
Hat tip to Cam Edwards.

It’s National Pig Day! I knew that penne with Italian sausage was a good idea.
From the comment thread on this article at Boots & Sabers:
Shoveling snow annoys me and is bad for my health; it should be banned. Also, there is too much snow and ‘Big Snow’ is accumulating at record amounts. ‘Big Snow’ should be taxed. It snows every year, thus we have yet to end our addiction to snow. Therefore, we must come up with alternatives to snow and mandate those alternatives on the people of Wisconsin. Government has a responsibility to protect its citizens from all this snow.
Pass a law!
I’m not much on pasta sauce in a jar. It’s a waste of money (you can make your own for less — compare the prices of tomatoes and sauce the next time you’re at the store), and you always have to fix it because it’s not as good as you’d like. But there’s a pasta sauce company just down the road, so I thought I’d try their product.
Not by itself, of course. I’ll slice some Italian sausage, saute it in olive oil, then add the sauce (and probably have to adjust the seasoning), and serve it with penne. But I might as well try it — and it’s cheap compared to most other brands.
