If you are as tired as I am about teabaggers going on and on about Ben Ghazi as if there was some massive negligence on the part of Barack Obama, and it was absolutely the most shockingly unpatriotic thing ever that he said “act of terror” instead of “terrorist act,” here is a little list that you can cut and paste (which is all I did) the next time you find them infesting an otherwise intelligent conversation with the cancer of their stupidity.

It’s an amazing thing to see. They immediately go into ALLCAP spasms of grammatically incoherent rage.
I realize that this is, in a sense, the moral equivalent of teasing a dog by running a stick along the fence, or mocking the monkeys at the zoo just to get them angry enough to throw stuff, but I would never do that. I respect dogs. I respect monkeys.
