New Stupidity Epidemic

The County Commission for Pinellas Florida has recently voted to end water flourination. The reason is that the local Tea Partiers have, in addition to all their other stupid notions, are now launching a war against flourination. Back in the 1950's ultra-right crackpots were fond of claiming that flourination was some kind of "communist" conspiracy to turn "our brains to jelly." The real "jelly brains" are the old paleo-conservatives and their Tea Party successors, who exhibit a stubborn and aggressive ignorance. An ignoramus with a cause is a dangerous thing.
