What the heck is wrong with these people?!?
Permalink  

So I watch (more like listen to) the news every morning while I'm getting ready for work. Increasingly so, I'm left wondering "WTF?" when I hear some of these stories. Thought it might be a good general category for a thread:

 

Why does it gotta be my congressman that takes the party that one jerktastic step too far: Really Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS)? Nekkid swimming in the Sea of Galilee? Nobody else felt compelled to go the full monte. Are you really that proud of yourself? WWJD? According to the Bible, he walked on that water. Bet he had some clothes on at the time too! Get it together, man... no vote for you!

Speaking of freakzoids... What is wrong with you, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO)? "Legitimate rape"?!?!?  What does that even mean??? Clearly you need some education from THIS century on how human reproduction works, as well as what is a good touch versus a bad touch... you know, the kid of thing that we teach very small children these days. You, sir, should be utterly ashamed of yourself.

 

If there is someone making you wonder "What the heck is wrong with that person?" please feel free to chime in.

I think I'll stay a minimum 10ft pole length's away from the political stuff...

At any rate, I watched clips of the trainwreck over the weekend called Honey Boo Boo Child. She's one of the girls from Toddlers and Tiaras. I've never seen that show, but I bet it's easy to ask what the heck is wrong with any of the moms on the show. But the mother of this child is probably the worst. The kid's signature bit for the talent show portion of the pageants is dancing around in a crop top and daisy dukes and flexing her belly. Her mom makes her a special Go Go Juice, which at the very least is Mountain Dew and Red Bull in a half liter bottle. The girl calls herself Honey Boo Boo Child and says things like, "Holla for a dolla." She's 6. As in 6 years old. S. I. X.

Alas, I couldn't help but watch and be appalled: http://thefw.com/honey-boo-boo-child-moments/

I've seen the promos for that Honey Boo Boo show and thought: Um . . . no.

Oh, I'm with you on not wanting to start a political debate. To me, political party affiliation is not the important part of those stories, that is just incidental facts. I'd be on anybody's case who got busted skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee. Some places and things should be respected, regardless of religious sway or politics. Some people should hold themselves to a higher standard of behavior, particularly elected officials and especially when traveling abroad. In the spirit of full disclosure on this guy, I did actually vote for him... so I am bagging on the guy I helped to elect last time. Since he can't keep his pants on in public after a few drinks, I think I'll check someone else's name next time around, which should be in November.

Far as the "legitimate rape" dude goes... there is just no excuse for anyone spouting that garbage. Get on TV and say something that mind-bogglingly stoopid... you get called out.

Haven't watched the Honey Boo Boo thing, but I did just read a news story on that show. I felt compelled to because I had no idea what a Honey Boo Boo is. Now I know, and yes... I too feel violated for having this knowledge. Hopefully that kid slides into anonymity when she grows older as I'm sure this will all be very embarrassing someday.

Grand Island Preschooler Asked to Change the Sign for His Name in School



Hunter Spanjer says his name with a certain special hand gesture, but at just three and a half years old, he may have to change it.

"He's deaf, and his name sign, they say, is a violation of their weapons policy," explained Hunter's father, Brian Spanjer.

Grand Island's "Weapons in Schools" Board Policy 8470 forbids "any instrument...that looks like a weapon," But a three year-old's hands?

"Anybody that I have talked to thinks this is absolutely ridiculous. This is not threatening in any way," said Hunter's grandmother Janet Logue.

"It's a symbol. It's an actual sign, a registered sign, through S.E.E.," Brian Spanjer said.

S.E.E. stands for Signing Exact English, Hunter's sign language. Hunter's name gesture is modified with crossed-fingers to show it is uniquely his own.

"We are working with the parents to come to the best solution we can for the child," said Jack Sheard, Grand Island Public Schools spokesperson.

That's just about all GIPS officials will say for now.

Meantime, Hunter's parents say that by Monday, lawyers from the National Association of the Deaf are likely to weigh in for Hunter's right to sign his own name.

Despite whatever rules and regulations may exist, some Grand Islanders we spoke with said they don't think it's right to make a three year-old change the way he says his name.

"It's his name. It's not like he's going to bring a gun to school when he's three years old," commented Dana Schwieger.

"I find it very difficult to believe that the sign language that shows his name resembles a gun in any way would even enter a child's mind," Grand Island resident Fredda Bartenbach reflected.

But for now, that's a discussion between the Spanjers and Grand Island Public Schools officials.

Grand Island Public Schools has released a statement since we talked with them Friday. A link can be found below.

From reading both articles, it sounds like the school wants to teach him ASL, and right now he knows SEE.  That much makes sense.  But I gather that the school wanted him to sign his name in ASL (which wouldn't be what you would do, because it's a name) and gave the weapons policy as an excuse.

I was reading about that earlier today too. Another case of a sensible policy taken to stupid extremes.

 They said the guy-turned-girl in the last one committed suicide, which sadly doesn't surprise me.  I'm not sure about the rest, but I'd bet it affected them for life.

I'm right there with you... if possible they should revive him a couple times just so he can have to die again.

Not trying to go there with the politics of it, but let this one melt into your soul: Geraldo Rivera is considering a run for the Senate.

Actually, that kind of seems appropriate.

Given the clownish state of affairs, I actually agree with you in that sentiment.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: WTF is wrong with the 50 people who all hit the "reply to all" button to say "Please stop replying to all!"

What the hey is wrong with Oscar Pistorius? You can't really claim, "I thought it was an intruder.", when you shoot your girlfriend through the bathroom door 4 times, then drag her down the stairs to another room.

What the heck is wrong with the clown that sent a ricin laced letter to President Obama? Is there really someone out there who is naive enough to believe that he actually gets up every morning, walks to the curb of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, opens the mailbox and collects his own mail? The mailroom personnel don't deserve to die over something dumb like that.

Wait a minute, you mean when I send him those poloraid of my butt with "kiss it" written across them he's not actually getting them?!?!?!?!

Man do I feel like an idiot now!

LOL... no, he doesn't get them. Probably does give the mail handlers a chuckle though.
