I’ve seen some epic Reading Comprehension FAILS in my 2+ years in the blogosphere, but trying to understand how one can get this out of this is making my brain hurt in ways I never thought possible.

Nobel Peace Prize Jury Faces Formal Inquiry
Read the story here. Here’s the paragraph that would make clicking through worthwhile, if you’re still undecided:
If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden’s capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel’s will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years — though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county.

As if I needed another blog! This one’s dedicated to translating some of the never-before-translated work of the French neo-Romantic poet Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac and member of the Académie française.
Everyone knows Cyrano, of course, but much of Rostand’s lyric work has never been read in English before. I’m trying to change that, one poem at a time. ( 7 comments)

Whoa, that is truly some epic fail.
What is also amazing that when Obama says some of those things sarah did, he is a horrible anti-american traitor, but somehow it is fine for her to say it.
Yeah, the ratio of preposterousness, silliness, Islamophobia, etc. to words in that post is truly mind-boggling.
Also, I don’t know whether to be extraordinarily amused or just saddened that not one of his commenters has picked up on the fail yet.
Yeah that was funny. I read of a few of the comments and they were completely free of any insight or reading compression at all.
They don’t need to read the words. They can see the picture of the Muslim and they know that Muslims hate Sarah Palin. He’s just reminding them, is all.
Indeed.
You have been taken in by a moby. If there were any neo-nazi or racist banners at the tea party protests, images of them would be plastered all over the front page of the New York Times. I have been to protests. The people there are concerned about out of control government spending and health care rationing. Only someone who hates Sarah Palin would write an article like this one.
What the hell does this have to do with this post?
Have you read the article? Do you think Mr. Aziz Poonawalla supports Sarah Palin? If he does not, then to say this is an epic fail is to display a keen grasp of the obvious. In his article, he damns her with faint praise and calls the tea party people neo-nazis and racists. I take it that who ever writes weasel zippers feels that if they don’t like us, it is all the more reason to support Sarah Palin.
heh
actually, what we see in Palin is the pinnacle of Inverse Social Darwinism, where for 40 years the GOP has selected for members and leadership individuals either too uneducated or too low IQ to understand theory of evolution.
A sort of natural selection for Stupid.
