America, land of the stupid …
A Vermont 8th-grader suggests her state adopt a Latin motto, Stella quarta decima fulgeat, which means, “May the Fourteenth Star Shine Bright.” (Vermont was the 14th state to join the Union.) A local TV station airs a human-interest story about it. Here’s a sampling of the comments they received on their blog:
Dorothy Lynn Lepisto: “I thought Vermont was American not Latin? Does any Latin places have American mottos?”
Norman Flanders: “What next Arab motto??”
Kevin P. Hahn: “How about ‘go back south of the boarder’”
Richard Mason: “We are AMERICANS, not latins, why not come up with a Vermont motto that is actually from us”
Judy Lamoureux: “Throw him out of the country tell him to take obama with him!”
Phil Salzano: “My question is, are we Latin, or are we Vermonters? Alright then, English it is…..”
Lori Olds: “I thought this was USA why are they trying to make Americans aliens”
Chris Ferro: “That’s a BIG NO, if you live in the United State YOU need to learn ENGLISH!!”
Julie Kellner: “No, you a USA citizen!.. Learn & understand the language!!!.”
Kurtis Jones: “No cause vt ain’t no Latino area. Leave the motto alone”
Zeb Swierczynski: “ABSOLUTLY NOT!!!! sick and tired of that crap, they have their own countries”
Ken Curtis: “Just when I felt our represenatives could not possibly get any dumber , they come up with this…get real… this is the USA, not some Moslim or Mexican country…stop given in to these people…PRESS 1 for English and forget the rest… worry about the problems you were elected to do”
Ronald Prouty Jr. “No way this is America not Mexico or Latin America. And they nee to learn our language, just like if we go there they want us to speak theirs”
Kristen Wright: “thats un called for this is the usa”
Kelley Dawley: “How do you say idiotic senator in spanish? I’d settle for deport illegals in spanish as a back up motto”
Heather Chase: “Seriously?? Last time I checked..real vermonters were speakin ENGLISH.. NOT LATIN..good god…”
Hmmm, it’s not as if any of these people can speak or write English …
Florida cops arrest 11-year-old girl at gunpoint for watching TV in her bedroom
Two Florida cops, responding to a burglar alarm, entered a home and found an 11-year-old girl laying on her bed watching TV. So what did they do? They threw her on the floor, pinned her down with a knee, and pointed a gun at her. Both of these cops have previously been disciplined; they’re white, the little girl is black.

The Super Bowl is a spectacle like no other — fireworks, celebrities, multi-million dollar ads, even sharks inexplicably on stage. What more could a fan want? Apparently they wanted for nothing because it was announced Super Bowl XLIX was the most watched Super Bowl in history. That’s not all: More Americans watched Super Bowl XLIX, at 161.3 million, than actually voted in the last presidential election, at 129.2 million. For all its spectacle, a presidential election apparently can’t compete with soft ball debates and a bouncing Katy Perry. It was also the most tweeted about Super Bowl, which means all those couch quarterbacks were letting the world know how they felt about every play. The 49.7/72 rating is four percent higher than last year’s game (47.6/70 for Super Bowl XLVIII on FOX, in which the Seahawks defeated the Broncos 43-8) and is three percent higher than the prior record. |
