Loons and Luddites

We have more than our share of Luddites in Vermont and the legislature looking to shut down anything that might be more advanced than colonial America.
Is there some congruence of mental disability running through the British House of Commons and the Vermont Legislature?

Obama’s test

Not something to be taken lightly.
Obama will be tested within six months posited Biden, before dropping off the radar. Additionally, he pleaded for the populace not to judge the Obama Presidency harshly.

Vermont and Obama, what a pair

News reports decry more deaths from alcohol and speed, attempting to elude and teenage booze parties. As usual, the blame is misplaced; inanimate objects cannot cause harms.
Placing the blame on the alcohol and speed shields the relatives, parents and friends from secondary responsibility and removes the individual from immediate accountability for personal actions. Sensitivity to [...]

Serious Questions?

John McCain IQ = 138
Are you smart enough to be Prez? He’s not either
Obama’s the village idiot. I don’t wish to insult Down’s syndrome persons.
