Bananas: With Any Luck You’re Just Stupid

June 17, 2025 Johnny Bananas (Fake News Reporter!)

Recent studies by professional stupidity testers reveal what many of us have suspected for quite some time – American’s are getting stupider. National intelligence quota (IQ) testing begat around the 1930s when the rise in Nazism had many concerned that American males fond of the movement would inevitably all begin walking like geese with tiny … Read more

A.I. Chatbots Lie Like My Granddaughter – Are as Stupid as Most College Students.

June 14, 2023 Skip

AI seems to wat to be both at the same time (lying and stupid). So this is a story about a few questions that I asked Bard about GraniteGrok. First, however, to set the stage:

Once Again, A Bearded Man Erases 82 Women at a World Poker Tour Event

June 14, 2023 Skip

Proving, once again, that men are out to prove they are a better woman than women. And the women aren’t fighting back. And other men aren’t defending them, either. I guess that the Feminists that wanted to prove that they were just as good as men never thought that they’d be competing to be better … Read more

More “nonsensical, unintelligible gibberish” in Describing a College Course Description and Academia in General

December 1, 2022 Skip

This from Kenyon College that can cost up to $80,000/year. The PJ Media author, George Harbison, is beside himself putting up the description from his alma mater. Good thing that my SAT score made me immune to having to take a college English class but I certainly can’t make much heads or tails of this: … Read more

Yep, Another “Man in the Street”: They Can’t Even Say What Country Queen Elizabeth II Was From?

September 26, 2022 Skip

Sheesh. I would have thought that with her illness starting to show up in late August, that would have been “pop news” and might have had a bit more recognition than normal from the younger (and ill-educated) set. Sigh, not so much.

Disqus Doodlings – Biden’s DPA Invocation for Non-military Reasons – Green New Deal Part 1

July 4, 2022 Skip

DPA standing for the Defense Production Act. This legislation was passed for national emergency reasons – specifically during times of war. However, Biden has declared that the Green New Deal (which Congress failed to pass for many reasons) is such a crisis to have industry work on, not material for war, but for insulating houses … Read more

From the “Pass it To Find Out What’s In It File” – MA Voters Accidentally Ban* Eggs

December 17, 2021December 17, 2021 Steve Earle

Have to hand it to voters down in MA for their morals and integrity. Yup, they overwhelmingly voted for and passed an animal protection measure that no one bothered to look at closely (well, it sounded so good, right?).

Democrat David Meuse Hashtags Local GOP as “Taliban”

September 5, 2021 Skip

Yep, we have folks monitoring other folks’ social media knowing that, at some point, the opposition is going to say something stupid. Or in his case, a rather retarded view of his fellow Legislators. I do wonder if this would violate the NH State House of Representatives Code of Ethics? The following certainly seems to be in opposition to his Tweet:

Scammers – Can’t Get Much More Blatant Than This

May 26, 2020 Skip

There are other viruses out there besides the Wu Flu. And no small number of them are computer based. Given that I get between 300 to 800 emails a day (more the closer we get to some kind of election when all of the PACs start blasting stuff out), there is always a number of emails that I know to be scammers and n’er-do-wells.

I think comedian Ron White has this correct – you can’t fix stupid

April 7, 2020April 7, 2020 Skip

I haven’t seen the Blue Collar Comedy Tour show in a long time – I miss it. Ron White was part of it along with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall (who appears, from time to time, on Last Man Standing with Tim Allen), and Larry the Cable Guy. Always ready with a quip or a long … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings – it would help if you actually knew what you were talking about

November 14, 2019 Skip

Talking points – especially on the Left. I see them all the time. And there are times that this engineer wants to just scream because of stupidity. Once again, we’re back to one of the harbinger sites for it – Treehugger.

Blogline of the Day: So how DO Progressives handle “cisspecies birds and bees”????

October 9, 2019October 9, 2019 Skip

Progressive parents sit their kid down for a talk about the birds and the bees and the birds who want to become bees and the bees who identify as birds and buckle up, this might take a while. Click on the link – it is rather amusing. (H/T: Instapundit)

You can tell that Captain Obvious works for the Dept. of Public Works

September 24, 2019 Skip

But then, again, government regulations require it! But then, again, some moron is going to try to drive their Smartcar through that and then get upset when they get mocked for stupidity when

Yep, I’m thinking this sums up what a lot of Conservatives are thinking

July 19, 2019 Skip

And I want the Left to keep on doing what they’re doing because that’s how you get more Trump (emphasis mine, a little reformatting): Since Election Night, I’ve been called a racist, a moron, an idiot, a traitor to my gender, and un-American. I’ve been accused of supporting a rapist and a Russian agent. I’ve … Read more

Bernie Sanders: It Is No Coincidence His Initials Are BS

July 16, 2019July 15, 2019 Rick Olson

Bernie Sanders. It is no coincidence that his initials are, “B.S.” I cannot figure out if he is dumb, ignorant or both. Bernie Sanders never held a real job in life. Bernie Sanders’ first stable paycheck came by way of election to the office of mayor for Burlington Vermont.

Quick Thought – without carbon suger is..?

Sherry Frost Doth Protests Too Much

March 18, 2019March 17, 2019 Rick Olson

State Representative Sherry Frost is the gift that keeps on giving. I pray for her every night that she remains healthy and active. The fact is seeing her foibles, gaffs and guffaws are priceless. Politics is ugly these days so I always look forward to a good laugh. Many of her intense tweets have left me howling with laughter. Frosty never disappoints. Sherry Frost protests again!

This weekend provides yet another broad array of misguided quixotic color commentary to our entertainment repertoire. Frost takes to the pages of Foster’s Daily Democrat and declares,

A bit more on Antifa calling to disarm “fascists” – not such a hot idea

September 27, 2018September 17, 2018 Skip

My post about Antifa calling for its adherents to disarm “fascists” (who are merely exercising their Second Amendment Rights while Antifa is, well, acting like real fascists in denying speech and other rights and bullying everyone else) caught some attention. Especially Grokster Rick who served as a US Marine, headed up the armory at Parris Island, is a former police officer, and is an expert firearms instructor. So at our impromptu Grokster gathering, he did an impromptu video lesson as to why things would not go well for Antifa if they tried such an act.

A Boost from Ed’s post: “So, Governor, You Want to Talk About the Constitutionality of HB 1264? Let’s Talk.”

September 26, 2018May 30, 2018 Skip

I thought these comments get to the nub and heart of the problem – seemingly, Progressives can’t understand it at all. I guess it’s the same bigotry of low expectations when they scream and holler that requiring “oppressed, minority, and underrepresented communities” can’t do the same things to get an ID like everyone else. What is so dang hard about out of state tuition?

Liberal Conservative • 2 days ago
This is not complicated in any way. Here’s the test: do you pay out of state tuition? Yes. Then vote via absentee ballot from your state of residence because you can’t vote in NH. I just don’t understand what is so difficult about this.

Bryan W Liberal Conservative • 6 hours ago
It’s not difficult. I know I’ve posted here before – when my daughters decided to become Utah residents so they could get in-state tuition there, the process there was simple, but could take up to a year: 1) Establish yourself at an address. 2) Get a Utah drivers license or non-drivers ID. 3) Register your car(s) in Utah if you have any. 4) Register to vote using that ID. 5) Pay in-state income tax or property tax (even if you don’t owe anything). You have to satisfy 3 out of 5 tests, then you can get in-state tuition. Gaining residency for voting purposes here should be no less stringent.

But Progressives say “that’s too HAAAaaarrdd” for college students to do. After all, a WHOLE YEAR?? Oh wait – they’re here for four, right? So let me get this straight:

Sister Mary LaHood – No Talking in Cars

September 26, 2018February 5, 2014 Steve MacDonald

(Originally posted Oct 11th, 2010 – Seem relevant to re-post this given that NH HB 1117 went to executive session yesterday.) Bloomberg reports that Transportation nanny Ray ‘Sister Mary’ LaHood believes that all cell phone use in motor-vehicles, including hands free, are distracting. Well, no kidding Mr. Einstein. Prior to the invention of the cell … Read more
