This, which I recently read:
Prominent Democrats said on Thursday a foiled plot in Britain to blow up U.S.-bound planes showed the Bush administration's pursuit of war in Iraq had diverted resources from the bigger threat of terrorism and made the danger worse.
:rofl :rofl :noid :noid

This recent "Dumb thing" just appeared today:
Illinois Senator Barack Obama warns citizens at his 50th Town Hall meeting about gas guzzling, WPSD-TV reports.
It was among many points made to the standing room only audience at the Metropolis Community Center. Obama spoke on everything from DC politics to global warming.
He says part of the blame for the world's higher temperatures rests on gas guzzling vehicles. Obama says consumers can make the difference by switching to higher mileage hybrids.
Today the Senator said, "It would save more energy, do more for the environment and create better world security than all the drilling we could do in Alaska."
"After the meeting... Obama left in a GMC Envoy after admitting to favoring SUV's himself," claimed local News Channel 6.
Do as I say, not as I do. :rofl

Happened this summer in Rostov-on-Don.
Local Militia got a call about a mass street-fight at an empty field near local automobile market. They used OMON riot police to stop the fight, and arrested about 100 people from Rostov, Volgograd, Stavropol and other Southern cities.
It turned out to ge an amateur rugby game between Southern teams...
Imagine riot police, with helmets, blackjacks, shields and tear gas trying to stop a rugby game and arresting players!...
Unfortunately, it's a real true story, not a joke.
Second most stupid thing:
A Patriarch of Russian Orthodox Church sanctified an exact copy of a sword that belonged to st. Ilya of Murom, to present it to Supreme Commander in Chief Vladimir Putin.
JFYI: Ilya of Murom is a legendary Bogatyr, who served to Prince Vladimir, saving Kiev Russia from nomads and dragons. His sword, "Mech-kladenets", was a magic sword that could chop dragon's heads.

Ilya Muromets is the one in the middle. Imagine Putin in his place! :D
I wonder when local church leaders will present Blair with an exact copy of Excalibur, and Chirac with a copy of Durandal.

The US government, I find hilarious...A study by the Defense Department's inspector general found:
A TRILLION US tax dollars vanished into thin air.
They paid $640 for a toilet seat.
56 airplanes, 32 tanks, and 36 Javelin missile command launch-units were lost by the US Army... meaning they have no idea where they are.
Even funnier, nobody will ever be held accountable while re-pubes + democraps will continue to spend billions drowning out any voices calling for and end to this poop.

I always laugh when I see people bashing other people on their public speaking. I always wonder how these bashers would do in front of millions on camera in their own public speaking skills...just the thought of it cracks me up. :) The largest group I've spoke in front of was 200 people, I've had two public speaking courses in college, and I prepared well in advance, yet I still stumbled during that particular speaking engagement, even with all my preparation.
-
The dumbest thing I've seen since 2000 was a speach given by this tall, bald guy. There were about 200 of us in the audience, and this dude was just jabbering on, mixing up phrases, mispronouncing words. I didn't know if he was on drugs, mentally retarded, or what. Someone later told me he had taken a couple of speaking courses in college. Hope he got a refund!

I personally dread public speaking. But a trick I've found to give me confidence (or something like that) was to wear a single earphone and play music while I'm speaking.

Having confidence in your topic and ideas is more important than having confidence in yourself. Confidence in yourself is useless if what you're saying is crap.
Some people are genuinely shy. That doesn't make them bad people or not knowlegeable about a topic. The content is important. In internal business meetings, good presentation skill is simply concise and precise information. It isn't an American Idol audition. Clear thinkers who focus on the task at hand will always do better than muddy thinkers who are concerned more about how they look to others. The (very) old analogy of how men look at a woman's skirt is still true today - it should be long enough to cover the important things, but short enough to make it interesting.
Of course people will be nervous the first time they have to speak or perform something in front of a large audience. Not everyone can be good at everything in the world. If it isn't your first time and you overly fret at how others are perceiving you instead of thinking about, and connecting with, your audience, you probably have some narcissism going on.
No course can teach you to have panache and an extemporaneous wit.

I read a sign in a mall here and it said:
"Ears pierced while you wait"
:rolleyes:
-
Jeez...that reminds me...just a couple stores down from where the ear piercing sign was is the food court.
There was a sign at the entrance of a fast food place that read: "Experienced cook wanted. Apply within"
That sign was written with white chalk on a small blackboard at the entrance to the counter. Someone came along and with his thumb, removed the right side of the second "o" in cook. That second "o" now looked like a "c".
We laughed our arses off all the way through lunch!:)

I was never welcomed...is there gifts that go along with that?
My dumbest moment.
Watching neighbors across the street mow the lawn. He hits something in the grass and lawnmower started making strange noises. He then stops, walks around to the side where the opening expells the cut grass. He then proceeds to get on his knees and look inside this vent while its still running. About this time the lawnmower launches the object he hit and hit him square in the forehead. He sits back on his butt and rubs his forehead. Meanwhile Im laying in my frontyard laughing my arse off.

It was Will Ferrel on SNL who coined the term "strategery".

It is dumb that people insist that a person that sounds dumb, looks dumb and acts dumb, is not dumb because he belongs to a certain political party.
I dont know that it is the dumbest thing since 2000, but certainly it is biblically dumb.

Gotta be careful about real waste and urban myth. Much (not all but most) of what you hear is either malicious or just plain old stupidity ON THE REPORTERS PART whether it be a politician, reporter, the IG or GAO.
$640 was never paid for a "toilet seat", it's a myth. The item purchased was the molded fiberglass interior for a head in a P-3. Yes, part of it covered the toilet just like the interior of an airliner lavatory does but it was not a "toilet seat". These are the BS myths that some pin-head politician or uber investigative reporter comes up with so they can show how much smarter they are than anyone else just like the old saw about the $200 hammer, a similar piece of trash reporting and hype. The government purchased entire tool boxes for a set price, the contents were not individually priced. Someone in the government decided they needed to itemize the contents so they divided the total cost of the tool box by number of tools inside. Each item whether it was a $20 hammer or $1,000 pneumatic drill therefore "cost" $200 so while the government may have "overpaid" for the hammer the drill was a steal. As far as the "lost" airplanes, tanks, etc., that's pure nonsense. There is no single place within the services where you can go to find out where every single piece of equipment is, DOD is too large for that. Hell, I've gone up to the flight deck to man an F-14 and it wasn't there. I was shocked, shocked I tell you that we've "lost" a $35,000,000 fighter! It was still on the hangar deck, just hadn't been brought up on the elevator yet. All of these things belong to some commander who knows where it is, it's not lost, just someone's (probably a Pentagon bean counter) paperwork isn't up to date.
These "myths" become "common knowledge" through constant, ignorant repetion and the bad part of it is that attention gets diverted from the biggest source of waste which is political in nature. Congress backs a certain airplane over another...why? Because one plane has major components built in 25 states and the other plane is built in only 5.
