And The Supreme Moron Award Goes To...

I usually don't promote women who can't string a coherent sentence together when they're sober, but after reading my July issue of The Week, I had to put my hands together and give a Supreme Moron Award to Sarah Palin.  Mrs. Palin, in an effort to get Muslims to rethink their decision to erect a mosque near Ground Zero, faithfully ran to her computer and tweeted a sublime plea to "pls refudiate" their plans.   Some amazingly bright people - you know, the ones who graduated from high fallutin' institutions and went on to have respected careers and write for, you know, like big journals and magazines, and stuff - told Mrs. Palin that the word "refudiate" isn't even found in the Oxford-English Dictionary (or any dictionary, for that matter).

Her response?

"'English is a living language.  Shakespeare liked to coin new words too.'"

Mrs. Palin, I salute you.  Not only have you set women back at least 70+ years, but you have also proven that America's educational system is severely lacking.  You?  Have earned my Supreme Moron Award for the Summer of 2010.  Congratulations!
