Hey, IDIOT, you've got MAIL!

According to this article, the White House refused to open mail from the Environmental Protection Agency on the topic of regulating greenhouse gases as pollutants.

That is so childish, I'm starting to wonder if the next President will have to repaint the White House just to get crayon off the walls.

If you don't look at it, it will go away safely.

On the topic of willfull obliviousness, I am reminded of this term from my fantasy language, Seshaa:

faago (adjective or adverb) – In Whispering Sands use, means “really really stupid” or even better “too stupid to live.” A perfect example is Amal’s cousin Masoom who died of a scorpion sting because he didn’t check his boots before putting his feet inside. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a brain-damage kind of impairment, just a fatal shortage of common sense.

I think, given the political candidates at the moment, someone 'should' paint the white house. Then no further racists will be able to claim, "It's called the white house for a reason."

There's a longstanding joke in the African-American community that the first black president should repaint the White House black. Sadly I doubt Obama has that kind of a sense of humor.
