116. Reading this was cathartic
I really can't do stupid anymore ...

My uninsured friend (who fell and now faces $26,000 in medical bills) sends me the viral email that Obama is going to euthanize all the elderly. I send her the link from snopes debunking it ... no response.

We TWICE attempt to dialog about health care reform at my church ... the first time a panel of PHYSICIANS was shouted down-- "You're lying!!!"

The second time the MINISTER was shouted down mid-sermon ... by a guy whose business has gone under.

And I just emailed your rant to a friend. Her two brothers are Faux Noise viewers ... so don't EVER bother them with anything silly like facts.

You can't have an intelligent discussion with stupid ... you can't debate an issue with someone who surrounds him or herself with talking points that DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL.

Thanks for saying what I've been thinking ... you just do it SO well!!! :applause:
