Katherine Jefferts Schori
The new Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church states, in a NY Times interview, that fellow Episcopalians are much smarter than Catholics or Mormons because they use judgment before having children.
It appears that her fellow Episcopalians sit down and calculate the cost to the environment, and of natural resources, to best determine the impact the twinkle in mom and dad’s (dad and dad’s, mom and mom’s) eye will have on the world.
Catholics and Mormons on the other hand copulate constantly, and without good sense, because they are not all that smart or astute. They are dumb (when will they finally get around to institutionalizing us —“ we shouldn’t be on-the-street) because they simply follow the teachings of their faith.
In the interview Ms. Schori paints a picture of what relationships should look like. She and her husband live apart because career trumps marriage, although she does hint that the Biblical principal of the husband’s headship still applies —“ she will allow him to decide when he should join her.
I judge Katherine Jefferts Schori to be stupid, and possibly drunk in the tradition of the martini drinking vicar.
Rep. Charles Rangel
The New York congressman, and incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, will introduce a bill calling for reinstatement of a military draft in early 2007.
Rep. Rangel believes that presidents and politicians would be less inclined to send American armed forces into questionable conflicts if their own sons and daughters were vulnerable to mandatory military service.
Ummm, case-in-point, our current President.
The sons and daughters of the rich and powerful will never go, nor do those in power care one bit whether the sons and daughters of their less than affluent/powerful constituents go. The rich will sit on high, the poor are canon fodder.
This man is delusional. The draftees will indeed come from the streets in his district, and they will die as they have always. While Rep. Rangel gets a relatively decent peace rating (76%) from the PeaceMajority Report (see his peace voting history), he does vote for funding, and in support of, the Iraq action, the ‘war’ where his constituents die by the hundreds each month.
If you are going to legislate, legislate to cut funding, choke off the ‘action’ by turning off the spigot of money.
I judge Rep. Charles Rangel to be stupid.
David Langlieb
The New York City Parks Department employee wrote an essay for his college’s alumni magazine.
The graduate of Haverford College noted that Greenpoint (a section of Brooklyn predominantly inhabited by Polish immigrants) was —uglier than the morons who work there.— He called Greenpoint residents —vermin— noting that the areas main problem is —Polish people infesting its row-houses.—
In a stilted apology, Langlieb noted that he is —half Polish— and likened himself to novelist Jonathan Swift. He stated that he wasn’t —sufficiently sensitive to the power of historical stereotypes…— (I bet Jonathan Swift was), and that he was just trying to —defend the wonderful community of Greenpoint—.
Mr. Langlieb’s alma mater was founded by the Quakers and bills itself as:
…a coeducational undergraduate liberal arts college founded in 1833 by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). While the College is not formally affiliated with any religious body today, the values of individual dignity, academic strength, and tolerance upon which it was founded remain central to its character.
I guess they decided not to instill respect for individual dignity or tolerance in Mr. Langlieb nor in the folks who edit the alumni magazine.
The college President, Tom Tritton, apologized here.
I judge David Langlieb and the administration at Haverford to be repentant drunks, ‘I’ll never do that again.’
Michael ‘Kramer’ Richards
In the land of mutually assured destruction, two hecklers fired a couple of shots at the former actor as he performed a stand-up comedy routine. In response he dropped the big ‘n’ weapon on the black hecklers.
See the Boston Herald’s ‘No-talent’ Kramer deserved to be heckled for a commentary on Mr. Richards’ comedy.
Seeing as he was in a nightclub I judge him drunk and stupid
*Necessary disclaimer – the labeling is meant as satire – in the tradition of Jonathan Swift. I’m sure everyone listed here is highly intelligent and a teetotaler.
