Moron of the Day: Wendy Portillo

From CBS News, “A Port St. Lucie, Fla., mother is outraged and considering legal action after her son’s kindergarten teacher led his classmates to vote him out of class. Melissa Barton says Morningside Elementary teacher Wendy Portillo had her son’s classmates say what they didn’t like about 5-year-old Alex. She says the teacher then had the students vote, and voted Alex, who is being evaluated for Asperger’s syndrome — an autism spectrum disorder — out of the class by a 14-2 margin.”

Clinton + McCain = Moron(s) of the Day

We may be looking at a McCain/Clinton ticket this November. How funny would that be? Today, the New York Times is reporting that McCain and Clinton have teamed up for the latest boneheaded political scam so far (there is still great potential before November though). From the Times, “Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton lined up with Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, in endorsing a plan to suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline, 18.4 cents a gallon, for the summer travel season.”

Wow, .20 a gallon. In other words, you could drive round-trip from Miami, Florida to Anchorage, Alaska (10,000 miles) and the tax break would save you about $100. A more realistic estimate is around 1,000 miles this summer. That will equal a whopping savings of around $9.50. I wonder how much money it would cost all of us, as taxpayers, for those morons to pass, repeal, instate, and reinstate the gasoline tax? The campaign managers of both Clinton and McCain have done their homework and are brilliantly playing to America’s continuing and increasing stupidity.

MOTD: Dana Perino

dana-perino-02.jpgEvery time I think I have heard it all from Bush and his cronies, it gets worse. The latest comes from the current White House Press Secretary for President George W. Bush, Dana Perino. When asked about the Cuban Missile Crisis, she said, “It had to do with Cuba and missiles, I’m pretty sure.” In other words, she didn’t have a clue. Unfortunately, there are probably not many people surrounding her that could answer that question much better. How sad is this? I bet she knows who won last season’s American Idol however.

Dear Dr. Quibles’

Dear Dr. Quible, I recently stumbled upon your “Hyphen and Apostrophe Usage” document after searching Google for a solution to the timeless “up-to-date” grammar problem. I read and re-read your solution several times but it is not very clear.

Your solution:

A strategy that generally helps determine whether or not an expression should be hyphenated is to say to yourself, “It isn’t a well plan, nor is it a developed plan; rather, it is a well-developed plan.” Another example involves the expression “up to date” that precedes the noun it modifies. For example, it isn’t “up book, to book, nor date book.” Therefore, the expression “up-to-date book” is hyphenated. On the other hand, the book that is up to date isn’t hyphenated because the adjective phrase goes after the word it modifies.

MOTD: Mr. Joel Estes

I usually see 1 or 2 people every week that do something pretty unbelievable. To celebrate these people and their stupid decisions, I would like to begin a new category called, Moron of the Day (MOTD). I doubt I will have time to post everyday because though there are quite a bit of morons, their stupidity usually doesn’t rise to level of requiring action and setting the universe right again. Today is one of those days.
