Last January, I commented on the idiocy of putting Allergy warning: contains milk on a carton of heavy cream, but okay. I’m willing to believe that there may somewhere be somebody under some rock who is unaware of where cream comes from. Fine. Whatever.
But today, on a jar of peanuts, with PEANUTS on the label, it also said, Allergy warning: contains peanuts.
Now wait. It’s a jar of peanuts. A jar of peanuts that is labelled PEANUTS. So what’s the point of Allergy warning: contains peanuts on a jar of peanuts which is labelled peanuts? Is it possible to be so oblivious that you miss the fact that the jar is full of peanuts, and then miss the fact that it says PEANUTS on the label? And if you are, shouldn’t you avoid contributing to the gene pool — maybe by dying of a peanut allergy reaction?
St00pid has its limits. Seriously.

On the heels of yesterday’s Mark Steyn zinger:
It’s fascinating to observe how almost any old totalitarian racket becomes respectable once it’s cloaked in enviro-hooey. For example, restrictions on freedom of movement were previously the mark of the Soviet Union et al. But in Britain, they’re proposing limits on your right to take airline flights to other countries - and, as it’s in the name of environmental responsibility, everyone thinks it’s a grand idea.
comes this, the Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division, keeping us safe from evil chemicals!

One of those liberal “intellectuals” is whining about having to back up arguments with facts. How inconvenient that an “intellectual” can’t get away with just dictating and have everybody swallow it. Hat tip: David Thompson.

From Iraqpundit:
I know those who are wedded to the idea of a failed Iraq are calling me a deluded idiot and worse. But things are improving slowly. My relatives in Baghdad say there’s no comparison; things are much better than they were six months ago. They can visit friends in different areas and walk about the neighbourhood in the evening.
Frankly, I don’t understand why so many mock us for wanting a future for Iraq. Is your hatred for George Bush so great that you prefer to see millions of civilians suffer just to prove him wrong?
It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a permanent hellhole because you hate Bush. And we are determined to see Iraq become a success, because we want to live.
Hat tip to Jules.
