“did you hear about this marine who killed an unarmed wounded guy in iraq?”
“yes. that’s just stupid.”
“agreed…though one might say that the entire set of circumstances which put a US marine in the position to shoot anyone in fallujah is ‘stupid'”

could this be as stupid as the iraq debacle being superseded by headlines like ‘some rappers fight at the vibe awards’ or ‘someone cares that an ad for ‘desperate housewives’ was aired during a football game’? this is also stupid: the house of representatives rewrites rules about what to do when one of them is indicted whenever one of their own, such as republican tom delay, actually gets indicted. we wish that people could rewrite laws about downloading movies and songs and comic books every time they get caught downloading movies and songs and comic books.
