Top two brainless-hypocritical things people bray ( in order of most brainless first.)

1. Gorka said, “…Kiss my ass, this is a holy site for the Polish people.” (implication is that use of the obicularis oris applied to the gluteus maximus of another is in itself ‘an approved holy act’ that shows great respect for people of another nation, and that this gesture is so highly prized, that a contender to the Presidency of the United States ‘has approved this message.’)

2. Parent to child: “If you dont stop hitting your brother I’m going to smack you.” (Inference that using bigger hands to smack smaller hands is actually teaching United Nations quality peace-making to the young so that young might wear little blue helmets and be thus gainfully employed when they grow up.)

Anger unbridled sometimes ups the chances of saying something one will regret later. We all say weird things sometimes without thinking of how it might clang. Just not usually in front of umpteen microphones: Jesse Jackson’s remark about Obama on an open mic, and other hapless folks come to mind. Not sure, however that Mitt Romney’s ‘spokesperson’ ought perhaps be renamed, Romney’s ‘jokesperson,’ meaning the haymaker Gorka threw at journos, missed and made what ‘should have been’ a reverent visit to holy ground, a mockery instead… laughable to many.

My grandmother made up this prayer of restraint:
Lord, spare me from speaking my mind–
whenever my mind is not present.

Amen.
For us all.
