A Blooming Idiot
James Taranto links to a Kansas City Star op/ed written by America's Stupidest Person, Sheila Sonnenschein:
I finally got my hands in the dirt today for the first time since fall. Each time I'm outside planting, I can't help but think of world peace. This might seem strange--world peace when you're gardening? Yes. I think that if presidents, dictators, kings, queens and prime ministers took a course in gardening, maybe they wouldn't have thoughts of war or amassing weapons that destroy life and our environment.
The class would start with leaders gardening in their own country, on their own soil. They couldn't help but take note of the sounds around them or the silence as the wind rushes by while they practice digging holes for tulips.
Or the sound of that wind blowing through Sheila's ears.
