Check this out. Media news blogger Romensko mentions in passing that the Baltimore Sun apologized for publishing a photo in which an obscenity was printed on a book cover. Following the link in that story, things get a little more sordid. The person holding “The Book” is a female Sergeant in the US Army. She was seen holding the book leaving a military tribunal for a Court Martial trial involving Abu Ghraib misconduct. She brought that book to court. I’m no legal strategist, but I might have brought something else to read at that trial. But wait, there’s more. She testified that after losing a bet with her fellow soldiers (I assume she lost the bet), she allowed guard dogs to lick peanut butter off of her ta-tas. And she is smiling in the picture. Was everyone who entered Abu Ghraib completely out of their minds?

I think that idiots, like suckers, are born on a regular schedule.

I agree. Yet, I am always amazed at the lengths to which idiots will go to assert their idiocy. In this case, it is the incredible and on-going lack of judgement that just blows my mind.

There is a certain smugness to stupidity that never fails to amaze and appall.
