Knuckleheads in the Knews

It's "Three Dumbasses For The Price of One" day at the Boston Globe - from today's New England in Brief.

First up, this candidate for the Mother of the Year Award:

A 4-year-old girl was safe last night after an inadvertent kidnapping that occurred while she slept in the vehicle while her mother ran an errand on Cummins Highway.


Next, this graduate from the Cape Cod College of Aeronautics:

Four town residents were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning Monday night at Falmouth Hospital after a generator operating in a basement filled a house with dangerous levels of the toxic gas, which is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.


And last, but not least, my very own State Representative demonstrating her love and compassion for terrorists, cop killers, and torturous murderers, as she expresses her concerns over Mitt Romney's proposed death penalty legislation.

"I don't believe it's possible to be 100 percent certain, no matter what you do. Humans are fallible," said Representative Elizabeth Malia, Democrat of Boston.


Of course, Liz would have seen to it that Dahmer got house arrest and placement into a culinary arts job training program. Or that Timmy McVeigh got a job working for a demolition contractor.

I think Admiral Jim Stockdale said it best, "Why am I here?"
