The gene pool could use a little Chlorine.

I've finally realized why I like mo'time so much. It's because generally, the bloggers in this community use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I've been looking at some message boards this morning and I can't figure out if people are really so stupid that they can't spell "senaro" and "minipilate". And then, if they really can't spell, I feel a kind of...a sort of pity for them. (Like the way I felt when my dad, who was always a very hard worker but had to work really hard to learn things, had been out of the country for quite some time before the Democratic Nat'l Convention and not kept up with political news, and came running out onto the deck with excitement because 'John Edwards is about to be announced as the VP candidate...isn't that cool?' It's not pity...just a sadness because I can only imagine how hurt he felt that his wife and two grown daughters kind of laughed at him and said 'yeah, dad, that's old news'.) Because I'm not looking at like, Britney Spears fan club message boards or the Laguna Beach monster.com website. I'm looking at serious political shit. And these are grown men and women with brilliant ideas about Moderate Republicanism, but I tend to just shove aside anything they write as a fallacy when I have to mentally pull out my freaking red pen and correct it.

* And I also just had to read this post 3 times to make sure I didn't misspell anything and look like a total hypocrite.
