STUPIDITY

Two things are an absolute scourge to me. Stupidity and Obesity. The latter is simply sad to see someone let themselves go. Getting back is hard but can be done. Stupidity on the other hand is often self inflicted. Afghanistan's President is a typical example. As I have said before, he is corrupt and doesn't even try to hide it. His latest thing is apparently firing one of the few honest people in his government. The now fired prosecutor who has been investigating at least two dozen of Karzai's senior officials. Earlier this month Karzai blocked prosecution of the 72 year old prosecutor who has opened cases on 25 current Karzai officials, including 17 members of Karzai's cabinet, five provential governments, and at least three ambassadors. Awash in US taxpayer dollars, Karzai's government is believed to be utterly corrupt. This makes the Taliban a viable alternative. What in the f... Is wrong with us, specifically the Congress. Are we simply idiots? How can we be this f...ing asleep at the wheel. The next thing we hear is Gen Petreus telling what good progress we are making. How many more years are we going to be this stupid?
