The Corner: Stupidity's Ground Zero

If stupid were a brick, "K-Lo" would be the Washington Monument.

I CERTAINLY KNOW LIFE DIDN'T BEGIN IN THE FALL OF 2001, BUT... [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Am I wrong to be justifiably uncomfortable with the Hiroshima headline in the Washington Post today? "The Original Ground Zero." Anyone who's lived in America in the past few years knows what "Ground Zero" conjures up. What we dropped in Japan is such a complicated question. What was done to us on 9/11/01 has no reasonable-people-can-disagree justification. I am pretty sure I am reading way too much into that Post headline, but it left me feeling like it should have been written some other way.

As Atrios dubs it, "wanker."

Is it the lack of historical knowledge that is so pathetic? I mean, would it be too much too type "Hiroshima Ground Zero" in the Google bar? Or is the total absence of empathy for fellow human beings? I guess it's the combo platter of ignorant self-absorption.

In the same post, Roger Ailes also points us to the intellectual powerhouse that is Cliff May who proves, beyond a doubt, that Valerie Plame is Joe Wilson's wife.
