Bless me father, for I am an idiot.
At least twice a week, I am asked, “Am I an idiot?” Very good question, and since I am working my fingers to bloody stumps, trying to lower the number of idiots without using lethal projectiles, I thought it might be the time to publish a list. This list will by no means be all-inclusive, but I shall try to cover the most flagrant violators. It’s going to take two days to publish this list, as Blogspot has asked me to limit my word count, in order to prevent the all too frequent crashes of comment boxes. During the next two days, feel free to sign in and publish your comments, and mention any identifiers for idiots that I might have overlooked. On Thursday, I will close out what should become the definitive list, of what constitutes an idiot, by adding your best posts to the end of the list. From that day forth, I will be able to point people towards these posts, saving time, breath, and bandwidth for me.
You are an idiot if:
You sneer at divisions in the United States, but can’t seem to get a European constitution ratified to save your lives.
You complain about the minimum wage being too low, but your Mexican maid hasn’t had been paid at the minimum for over a decade.
You bitch about the Catholic Church not allowing women to be priests, but your wife does all of the household chores.
You buy a pet and leave it home alone all day, and wonder why it tears your furniture up.
You complain about the garbage put on TV, but your children still have their own televisions in their room.
You staunchly defend the rights of minorities, but all the children at your kid’s school are white.
You consider yourself a feminist, but allow your daughter to dress like a harlot.
You rail against psychiatry, but have rifled through three or more relationships in the last fifteen years.
You repeatedly ask what Jesus would do, and despite having the largest staff of analysts in the world, you rely on a person who cannot safely eat a pretzel, to determine what Jesus would ask you to do.
You complain about job cuts, but wish to continue to make $20.00 an hour to hang a tire on a car.
You work for local, state, or the federal government, and do not vomit every time someone tells you to refer to the procedure manual.
You religiously vote for Republicans knowing your vote will improve things.
You religiously vote for Democrats knowing your vote will improve things. (Don’t you dare just whiz past these two.)
You eat only meat to avoid getting fat, but die of clogged arteries, rather than just eating less.
You drive around for fifteen minutes trying to get the closest parking spot to the store, and you could walk from the readily empty ones, in less than a minute.
You complain about the substandard regulations on the environment in the U.S., as one of your biggest power plants dumps it’s crap across the northern border, and turns Adirondacks lakes and ponds into battery fluid reservoirs.
You rally against abortion, but you punish your children if they are caught with contraceptives.
You roll down the highway with your kids in the backseat watching DVD’s and wonder why they don’t want to talk to you, or why they don’t like to read,
You possess some of the finest cigars ever rolled, and you use one of them as a sex toy.
You order from a drive-through menu island by pointing at the items you want.
You bombard congress with mail about the violence in video games, but do nothing about the violence you see on the evening news,
You complain about racism, but attack minority appointments to high government offices as turncoats.
You are, or were married to Jane Fonda.
You are, or were married to Ted Turner.
This concludes today’s portion of the “You may be an idiot list”. Tune in tomorrow for more on this matter.
Next Sermon- never enough idiots.
Today's sampling of black comedy and parody laced with satire and bogus philosophy was brought to you by the folks who developed the national strategy to tackle bird flu, (NSTBF) who ask you to prepare for the same results you got with this years distribution of flu shots.

I was married to both Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. Does that make me an idiot?
Rev, I've never ever said, or implied, or inferred, or suggested, or asked about your idiocy. I've said, implied, inferred, and suggested that you ain't rite.
But that's very different.
Love your list. Not like. Love.
Well, I for one, as a fatcat pigopolist with shares in big drug companies that make anti-bird-flu vaccines, am going round teaching any pet parrots, budgies and mynah birds I come across how to do a good impersonation of a sneeze.
Amen, couldn't have said it any better myself!
Dat was purdy doggone good, Rev!
thanks you clowns but you are supposed to be ranting yourself.
aw hell, do whatever you feel like.
What if a pair of opposing hypocrits (where one says one thing and doesw the other, and the other says the other and does the one thing) team up? As a human, I find it impossible to constantly avoid hypocrasy, so why not pair up and embrace out hypocritical natures, and then we can really progress, right? My partner will do my work for me while I do his work for him. We will both get our jobs done while approaching more exagerated extremes.
But then again, we're probably better off if you just call me an idiot too.
You know you're an idiot when
you yell at your 9 year old on Halloween night,"You better be back by 11PM, 'cause it's a school night!"
or
when you volunteer to go work at the branch office lovingly known as the Titantic.

That's covered in chaos theory and beyond the scope of this discussion :-)
You know you're an idiot when you use Daylight Savings Time as an excuse for being late the Saturday before the clocks change.
- You wait in line for 15 minutes at a drive thru to get your morning coffee instead of just walking your lazy-ass in and getting it which would take only 2 minutes!
- You complain about Bush relentlessly but you voted for him!
- You are a member of PETA
- You are an ex-smoker who complains about second-hand smoke, smoking in public places, and smoking in bars.
- You believe what your government tells you.
good one
I just can't wait until you get to driving.
Great list.
you're an idiot when you run for public office and consider it a privilege. (yes I'm talkin' 'bout myself).
"You wait in line for 15 minutes at a drive thru to get your morning coffee instead of just walking your lazy-ass in and getting it which would take only 2 minutes."
you wench, you stole one from the next post. you did tell it better though.
peta? their goons will come into your house in the middle of the night, and suck all your makeup of your face with dental appliances. you, have tina sized balls. i am so not worthy.

You'd both probably implode, fusing together to become a minor Government official.
You are an idiot if:
-you write a blog.
-you read blogs.

"You are an idiot if:

i'll give you that on writing blogs, because in my case,well it should be obvious. any kind of reading now days, will qualify one as an itellectual. since you both write and read, this qualifies you as an idiot savant.
You buy a pet and leave it home alone all day, and wonder why it tears your furniture up.
Right on.
You bitch about the Catholic Church not allowing women to be priests, but your wife does all of the household chores.
Right on.
...allow your daughter to dress like a harlot.
What are you, 100 years old?
You complain about racism, but attack minority appointments to high government offices as turncoats.
Rev, you cracker. Lay off the sacramental 'shrooms.
Testify, there, Rev!
Iffin' you is one of them idjits what has a TV in ever room of yer ponderosa, and ya bitch about TV -- yer dumber than a sack of hammers.
They keep a passin' laws about what is and what ain't free speech and these idjits can't figger out the OFF button.
Jeez O Pete does that chap my ass.
As fer folks what thinks politics or government is gonna help 'em, I has this advice - the only way to tell if a politician is lyin' is if his lips is movin'.
My problem Rev ain't identifyin' an idjit, but tyrin' to figger out what to do with 'em. The mind is kind of like a feller's boot -- it's got to be open to get yer foot in.
"You know you're an idiot when.."
Actually, idiots don't know that they're idiots. That's the horrible truth of it. If you don't go round thinking "Am I being an idiot?" then you probably are one.
Hmm. My last verification code was dhlusor.
Is somebody trying to tell me something?
...allow your daughter to dress like a harlot.
What are you, 100 years old?
what do want your daughter to identify with? her brain or her ass? there is a place and time for women to dress as they want, i am not a quaker. i raised 2 daughters against the tide of the mtv/rap culture. as adults, they show what they have got at the appropriate times, but neither one of them has the self esteem problems that millions of girls and women do, that force them to think they are a slave to men. my girls value their brains first, and they respect themselves. is there something wrong with that? what era did you grow up in tom?
You complain about racism, but attack minority appointments to high government offices as turncoats.
Rev, you cracker. Lay off the sacramental 'shrooms.
tom i had a glock stuck in my temple for sitting in a car with a black guy, just carrying on a conversation, and i paid more dues than that.you do not know what color my grandkids are do you? you want to tell me that some-too many black people still don't fall back on the uncle tom crap? complaining about racism is appropriate, especially in the so-called liberal bastions of the northeast. the best way to lift people up, is to ride their coattails, not kick them in the teeth. do you deny any of what i have said here? this cracker boy loves you too tom, but we gotta stop and think instead of running the old programs.WHERE DID THEY GET US?

You left off "- you post moronic comments that slam everyone on the blog."
carl he didn't slam anyone, even himself, if it wasn't just a good natured poke, then it was merely a demonstration of his/her maturity level.
free speech, it's a beautiful thing, especially when it's ugly.
Rev,
If we're going to bicker and screech like it's MSNBC, then let's quit dancing around the real issue:
It's the first of the month and I still haven't gotten my envelope.
ah, it's in the mail.
fuggin msnbc yea sure msnbc, friggin chickennecks with laminated hair doos, fuggin msnbc, i'll show those pin-heads, not good enough copy, my ass,fuggin msnbc, the idots at fox are leavin 'em in the dirt,fuggin msnbc, frikin msnbc....thanks tom for reminding me i was rejected by
friggin msnbc, fuggin msnbc,snarl...rant, snarl...friggin msnbc.........
Rev,
Great post. I really liked the one about...Hey! I just realized that this list makes me an idiot! You can't do that to a Deity. It just ain't right!
They've closed the government, emptied the banks and thrown the Senate into secret session to demand answers about the run-up to your idiots'list.
This is the filthiest stunt I've ever seen.
You rail against psychiatry, but have rifled through three or more relationships in the last fifteen years.
Yet you own Katie Holmes like a sack of beans. Maybe you're not such an idiot.
what in the hell happened here?
what is all this mess?
it's it's a disaster....letterman sent him the top ten, he recovered nicely, great post, excellent follow through, the room was humming, now there's total chaos
lions are laying down with sheep, shep is leaving fox, and a hunta has taken over seattle. he's a biohazard, he had to get sentimental.
come on, we have got get those three swedish flight attendants off of chico, hurry!
actually i was aiming at tom cruise but i'll take any props i can get
I hear a lot about panic, but where's the preparedness?
FEMA's got this all covered, in about five days.........
"We are coming to you live from Seattle. All we can see is smoke, and the flashing lights of emergency vehicles. The Governor has just declared a state of emergency. This just in, Shep is apparently gay, no I'm sorry, he is reportedly leaving Fox News, and will be doing the weather in Cleveland Ohio. The motorcade is now turning onto the boulevard....hold on just a minute.......oh, is it time for my medication now Nurse Betty?
Well that's the way it was today in Seattle."
To quote from "King Bastard", I am not gay, I am just festive.
If you think any of this crap was scripted in advance you are crazier than I am. God I wish it was scripted.
Let us haste to hear it,
And call the noblest to the audience.
For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune:
I have some rights of memory in this kingdom,
Which now to claim my vantage doth invite me.
Here's what I've come up with:
-You talk on your cell phone while you are taking a dump
-You bring a baby to a late-night R-rated movie, then wonder why it cries the entire time
-You drive a car that gets 12MPG, then complain about how much it costs to fill up
-You complain about the overpromotion of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan, yet you always buy the magazine whenever they are on the cover
Envelopes? There are envelopes?
yea, i owe the guy, and after this mess, the evelopes just got fatter.
I don't sneer at divisions in the US, in fact, I couldn't care less.
That being said, I am against THIS European constitution. I have written extensively against it, and joined in demonstrations and political debates as well.
The keyword here is THIS. I am open for a revision of the text.
Idiot or not, whatever.
i am honored to the point of dripping spittle all over myself.
