Dumb things...

Exhibit A:
Southern Voters Wary of Romney?s Mormonism -- Daily Intel
QuoteQuote:
Under ideal conditions, democratic elections are decided by fully informed voters making rational decisions based on that information. In reality:

Several of those interviewed in Lynchburg were devotees of the TV series "Big Love" and "Sister Wives," about polygamous Mormon families. They were unaware that the Mormon Church long ago renounced polygamy.

"Mormons don't believe like we believe," said Dianna McCullough, a retired factory worker, as she tossed salad in a Tree of Life Ministries soup kitchen. "Like the wives — Romney's probably got more than one."

This woman's vote counts just as much as yours. Actually, since she lives in a swing state, it counts more.


Exhibit B:
DNC Goofed, Showed Russian Ships in Navy Tribute -- Daily Intel
QuoteQuote:
On the final day of the Democratic National Convention last week, retired Admiral John Nathman took the stage during a tribute to veterans, while the monitor behind showed him an impressive composite of images, with a row of war ships front and center. The only problem: The ships actually belong to a Russian Black Sea Fleet. Experts for the Navy Times enumerated several items including the design of the ships' radars that indicate the vessels pictured most certainly do not belong to the U.S. military. “An immediate apology [from the committee] would be very nice,” said Rob Barker, a former electronics warfare technician for the Navy. “Maybe acknowledge the fact that yes, they screwed up.” Consider this the DNC's Walter Reed Middle School moment that vexed John McCain in 2008. And speaking of McCain's campaign, you know who would have had the wherewithal — thanks to her physical proximity — to identify Russia's ships?
Exhibit C:
N.Y. Senate Candidate Sends Gay-Bashing Mailer -- Daily Intel

QuoteQuote:
Republican New York state senate candidate Juan D. Reyes III of Queens has distributed a harsh gay-bashing mailer assailing his primary opponent, City Councilman Eric Ulrich, as a "gay-friendly" politician who has flip-flopped on his conservatism. Reyes is a former aide to Mayor Rudy Giuliani and currently a partner at the law firm Reed Smith. In the lengthy mailer, Reyes attacks Ulrich's "liberal voting record," says that Ulrich cozied up to liberals like City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who's openly gay, and writes in bold print: "Ulrich voted for gay marriage."

Here's a portion of the mailer, sent just before Thursday's primary vote (italics in original):

Ulrich and his wife became known as frequent dinner companions of an openly gay Democrat councilman and his husband. No one cared about that.

Ulrich hired an openly gay chief of staff for his City Council office, as well as at least one other gay staffer.
Exhibit D:
OJ Simpson Khloe Kardashian's bio-dad?!@
