Too Stupid To Live!

OK, we're going to open today's post with a classic scene from an episode of Cheers.

Here's the wind up!

Rebecca Howe has had stars in her eyes for the CEO of the company she works for. Robin Concord is rich, stylish, sophisticated, British and did I mention rich? Oh yeah, he's rich.

Rebecca, much to her heart's delight, winds up in a relationship with Robin which is a bit of a puzzle for anyone looking from the outside in. What does the rich, stylish, sophisticated, British Robin Concord see in the flighty, neurotic Rebecca Howe?

Well, he sees something apparently as it appears that Robin has asked Rebecca to move in to his place. Sam and Norm are there helping Rebecca with her move when a fax comes through (this is from the 1980s) which seems to incriminate Robin in some nefarious dealings at his company.

That's the wind up. Here's the pitch!


Rebecca: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute you guys. Let's not jump to any wild conclusions here. Let's just look at the facts. Now, all we really know is that Robin is using my secret password to break into my corporation's confidential files, and from the date on these, well, it looks like he's been doing it since, well, since the day after we first slept together. So all I think we can conclude by this is... I AM TOO STUPID TO LIVE! 

Sam: Hey, now, Rebecca. It's not like he ever tried to screw us over — no, wait, he did that to me once. Well, it's not like he ever cheated on you, no, he did do that. Hey, maybe this is the last scummy thing he'll ever do. 

Rebecca: (hopefully) Do you think so? 

Norm: You're right, Rebecca, you are too stupid to live!


Kirstie Alley really sells this moment with her heartbroken bellow of I'm too stupid to live! 

So why am I sharing this with you today.

Today is November 5th. On this date 3 years ago, enough people looked at a fat buffoon of a con man with zero human empathy and limited intellect and decided yeah, he would make a great President of the United States.

What has not happened is that this group of morons who thought this was a good idea has not had that moment of self-realization that Rebecca Howe arrived at.  

Looking at the damage wrought by an obviously stupid and incompetent man-child, the air over the United States from sea to shining sea should reverberate with the plaintive wail of "I'm too stupid to live!"

Fine. I'll say it.

For every single person who not only voted for this intellectually challenged failure but continues to support him in the face of al the mounting evidence of his incompetence and his maleficence, I can only say, "You are too stupid to live."
