Ya Can't Fix Stupid

As the enemy begins yet another chapter in its century-long battle against awful, I can't help but reflect on the one-and-done tenure of Mr. Mike Quade. I will not question the hearty baseball acumen of the man; he's been around this long, so he must know something. But a leader of men he is not.

For me, his ascendancy of idiocy became relevant when his unruly, wild and uncontainable club donned t-shirts at Wrigley during batting practice that said "F**k the Goat" in big red letters across the back. When later asked about the "goat", Quade said he had never even heard of the curse of the billy goat, that to him, it was just a restaurant.

I was never able to determine whether his supreme stupidity was a) that he really hadn't heard of it or b) that he had, and he was just stupid enough to think we would actually believe him.

Either way, STUPID.

I'm not saying leaders of men need to know everything there is to know about anything and everything, but they certainly do need to surround themselves with people who are informed on myriad subjects, and they must also have enough tact to know when they're stepping into a great big pile of nast.

So if the sexual harassment charges against Herman Cain and his playfully flippant response to them haven't deterred you from considering him as a presidential candidate, hopefully this video will:

This cannot happen, people. This man cannot be seriously considered for the presidency. The Republicans are in deep shizz. And they know it. It's just too bad that the answer to their problems is right there, continuously ignored, continuously shut out.

It makes me very, very sad.

Hate me. Fine. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Peace,

Jeff
