Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein
Better to keep your mouth closed and give the appearance of being stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt.
Mark Twain

CNN, Dec 1, 2003 - 'Foot in mouth' prize for Donald Rumsfeld, renowned for his uncompromising tough talking, received the prize for the most baffling comment by a public figure. 

"Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know," Rumsfeld told a news briefing. "We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

John Lister, spokesman for the campaign, which strives to have public information delivered in clear, straightforward English, said: "We think we know what he means. But we don't know if we really know." Although Rumsfeld's comments were made at a news briefing in February 2002, they were nominated for this year's award.

Rumsfeld, whose boss, President Bush, is often singled out by language critics for his sometimes unusual use of English, defeated actor-turned-politician Arnold SchwarzeneggerMoron button for the booby prize. "I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman," the new California governor said.

Previous holders of the award include U.S. actress Alicia Silverstone and British Chancellor Gordon Brown. Last year's winner was actor Richard Gere.

Moron of the Day

We found this moron on a recent trip to Boston.  It was a beautiful Sunday morning and walking up the street we heard a lot of honking. A limo was double parked and the white van behind him was honking (it was a 3 lane street).

The van driver stormed out of his vehicle and threw the remains of his fast food breakfast at the limo driver. The driver got out of his limo and the van driver threatened him. The limo drive pulled out his cell phone and announced he was calling the cops. The van driver returned to his vehicle and proceeded to ram the back of the limo.

At this point a number of the patrons sitting at an outdoor cafe proceeded to call the police as well. The van driver yelled at the diners to go back to their meals. The van driver then appeared to come back to his senses and waited in his vehicle for the police to arrive.  (previous nominees)

Nominate a "moron of the day". Is there a moron in your family, your office or did you run into one on the street today? Send your story to ImAMoron_2.

Must be time to add chlorine to the gene pool

Submitted by Lesley JOHNSON CITY, Tennessee (AP) -- A bullet fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him, authorities said. Gregory Allen Freeman, 45, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in the Saturday night incident that wounded Jeffery S. Murr, 24.

About 10 people, including two children, had gathered for the ceremony. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree and shot with paintball guns as Freeman fired a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire, Sheriff Fred Phillips said. A bullet struck Murr on the top of the head and exited at the bottom of his skull, authorities said. Freeman fled the ceremony but was arrested near his home, authorities said. He was released on $7,500 bail.

Man's new name: Bubba Bubba Bubba

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (AP) --What's in a name? If you're the former Raymond Allen Gray Jr., only one word -- Bubba. The 39-year-old Springfield native legally changed his name last month to reflect his childhood nickname. His new first name? Bubba. His new middle name? Bubba. One guess what his new last name is.

"I kind of like to laugh and joke, and it's something silly to kind of poke fun with," Bubba Bubba Bubba said. The name change won't be hard to get used to because he has long been known as "Bubba" or "Bubby" Gray, he said.  "My dad called me Buddy, and it got switched to Bubby. Some of the kids couldn't pronounce Buddy too well, so they said Bubby, and it just stuck," he said. For years he considered changing his name to Bubba Gray. Then a co-worker in the Illinois Secretary of State's office started calling him Bubba Bubba Bubba in jest.

Later another co-worker mistakenly thought that was his real name. "That's kind of what started me thinking: Well, let's just have it all the way through -- Bubba Bubba Bubba -- first, middle and last," he said. Bubba's new name became official on November 20 and he's already got a new driver's license and work identification card. He sometimes has been  asked what his parents, who are now deceased, would think about the change. "I'm sure my dad probably would be shaking his head," Bubba said.  (more morons)

Morons in the news

Submitted by Lesley CLARKSTOWN, New York (AP)

Mistake No. 1: Impersonating a police officer.

Mistake No. 2: Making a traffic stop.

Mistake No. 3: Stopping an off-duty state trooper.

Shalom Gelbman, 22, of New Square, New York, made all three mistakes, state police said. Gelbman, with a strobe light on his dashboard and his high beams flashing, pulled a car over Wednesday night on the Palisades Interstate Parkway, police said. Inside the car was state Trooper Seamus Lyons, who arrested Gelbman.

It was clear to Lyons that Gelbman wasn't a colleague, authorities said, because of his license plate number and the equipment he had in his car. Gelbman was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal impersonation, police said, and was cited for having unauthorized equipment in his car, a dark blue Mercury Grand Marquis with tinted windows. Gelbman was also ticketed for driving without a registration or insurance. He was released on $5,000 bail after being arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court. (more moron news)

Clogging Our Arteries or Clogging the Courts?

It was bound to happen. Sooner of later avaricious class action lawyers had to take on the deep pocketed fast food industry. Well, sooner has finally arrived in the form of one Caesar Barber, 56, a maintenance worker who weighs about 270 pounds and stands 5-foot-10.

Barber and his lawyer claim McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and KFC jeopardized his health with their greasy, salty fare. He filed a class action lawsuit on Wednesday in the New York State Supreme Court in the Bronx on behalf of an unspecified number of other obese and ill New Yorkers who also feast on fast food.
