Do Stupid People Require Big Government?

This morning’s post was inspired by a tweet thread between @kirkyuhnke and @Jesse about texting while driving. I saw it coming, but thought I would be different… being a parent changes everything. Recently, my inbox was hit with one of those mass forwards, you know, the kind that one person ALWAYS sends you even though [...]

Stupid Person of the Week

This week’s award for stupid people goes to Lance Cpl. David Motari and Sgt. Crismarvin Banez Encarnacion of the Marine Corps.
