In France, they would have shared the same PARAPLUIE PERIPERSONAL SPACE!

My theory is that these people are obsessed with having special knowledge that nobody else knows. They have a bad case of "I told you so-itis." When it turns out they are wrong (i.e. Obama isn't taking any guns), they cannot deal with that reality. So, they make it up.
Really, it's not much different than here on SLOG. Everyone wants to have special knowledge that others don't have. It's empowering.
Luckily I have this remarkable insight, even though most people don't.

18. Know before approaching a table who has ordered what. Do not ask, “Who’s having the shrimp?”
Good advice here. I once had a waitress (probably at Olive Garden), who screamed at us, "these plates are HOT!" when we didn't answer who had what fast enough.
Actually, it wasn't Olive Garden, it was a local run business in Pueblo Colorado. Moral is, don't eat in Pueblo if at all possible.

@2, a person is not "thick-headed" just because they dismiss another person's crazy beliefs. One can believe crazy stuff, but I must consider that person's lack of critical reasoning when judging whether or not to take that person's comments seriously.
Just because they believe does not mean I must respect it. Scientology is based on craziness and I give that person as much weight as I do a right-winger like Rush Limbaugh.

@21, I agree that going after a kid is assholish. I suspect the story in the paper played up the "making a little girl cry" card.
It irks me that a parent would send a young child up to a public podium and then complain when rebutted forcefully. Once you enter a debate, you're open to criticism.

Connie is not evil. His point is reasonable. Why should the community be charged for the luxury of a librarian? People, even rich people, need to live within their means and prioritize.
The children of Oak Bridge, a wealthy community, won't be harmed. They will have plenty of other avenues to find books.
It's disconcerting that the head librarian makes $98,676 a year. That is a lot of dough. I would not want to pay that much for librarian. Subsidizing the salary of a small bookstore owner rather than a librarian makes more sense.
As for Connie's salty personality, I quote the great poet philosopher, Mike Muir:
"And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...f*ck you!"
Too bad I'm too poor to live next to Connie.

After reading the Birther's blogs, it is clear to me that President Obama's life is in danger. These folks are unhinged to begin with, but now they have exhausted all legal remedies. They will irrationally conclude that they have no option but to stop "The Usurper" by force.
I fear for the safety of President Obama. The efficacy of the Secret Service will be severely tested during the next few years.
The Teabaggers, Glen Beck, Birthers, etc. will all have blood on their hands. Their irresponsibie rhetoric is driving this irrational frenzy to the logical conclusion.
