Reminds Me of “Dog Day Afternoon” ~ Robbing a Bank With a Guy Who, Given Their Choice of International Refuges, Thinks “Wyoming”

…is a country.

Strangest “reportedly” true actually true Boston Marathon Bombing fact

Statement of the Ambassador of the Czech Republic on the Boston terrorist attack
19.04.2013 / 21:27

As many I was deeply shocked by the tragedy that occurred in Boston earlier this month. It was a stark reminder of the fact that any of us could be a victim of senseless violence anywhere at any moment.

As more information on the origin of the alleged perpetrators is coming to light, I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding in this respect.

The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entitiesthe Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation.

As the President of the Czech Republic Miloš Zeman noted in his message to President Obama, the Czech Republic is an active and reliable partner of the United States in the fight against terrorism. We are determined to stand side by side with our allies in this respect, there is no doubt about that.

Petr Gandalovi?
Ambassador of the Czech Republic

Someone points out that “‘stupid’ should hurt“.

That would be a start.

    OMG – thank you for the laugh. It’s sometimes hard to remember that some people really ARE that ignorant. :-))

    Stupid should hurt, but the NEA provides too many mind numbing lessons, and hence the pain never arrives.

    Unfortunately, most of them are in the MSM & Congress.
    One useless man is a disgrace, two useless men is a law firm, & three useless men are a CONGRESS! John Adams from “1776”.

  4. Kathy Kinsley says:

    And 4 are a Senate?

    Having stopped my giggles. Re: “Stupid should hurt.” Yes, it should, and it should NOT be allowed to sue people because they didn’t anticipate that level of stupid.

    Reminds me of a conversation I had back in my customer service days.
    Me: That will ship from Maryland.
    Customer: What’s that?
    Me: Maryland. The state.
    Customer: Where is that?
    Me: Um, near Washington DC.
    Customer: (pause) Oh.
    Me: (headdesk, headdesk, headdesk)
