Can you get any dumber than this?
A crowd had gathered at a weir, used to count fish, because the sow and two cubs have frequently been showing up there to feed during the salmon run.
The crowd, which is kept at a safe distance from the weir, became startled when a man decked out in a bear outfit ran through the area Monday evening.
The man began to jump up and down, and then got close to the cubs, within five to 10 feet, Sogge said.
Alaska Fish and Game technician Lou Cenicola moved the sow out the way for the man’s safety and then tried to talk to the man, which Sogge said is a little outside Cenicola’s normal duties.
“Our job is to count fish,” Sogge said.
The man refused to identify himself, Cenicola said.
Sogge reported the man told the technician: “You have the license plate number. You figure it out.”
The man then drove off without ever removing the costume head and revealing his face.
I wonder if there are people who actually aspire to win a Darwin Award. What do you think?
I wonder if the bears are more stressed by the crowds gathered to watch them feed.
Well there was the guy who launched a rocket off his head this July 4. He won the award, instantly.
“This is not the first time we’ve encountered a man in a bear suit,” Peters said.
Ah yes, Alaska, the Florida of the north.
That’s pretty dumb, and amusing.
This is dumber, and downright hilarious, from the man who called a current Supreme County Justice a “Goat-Fucking Child Molestor” and is currently demanding that the Congressional GOP caucuses shut down the government if necessary to strip Planned Parenthood of Federal funding:

“Conservatives must be happy warriors. Those of faith already know they’re on the winning team and the issues are far larger than the day to day politics of this country.
The people above and those like them are not happy warriors. They are malcontented souls who need prayer. If you read those emails above and nodded with them, I do hope you will consider that a recalibration of your anger is order.
We will not win if the loudest voices are these. You will not turn anyone toward your cause with a scowl and a pointed finger instead of a smile and outstretched arms.
Conservatives must rise to the occasion, not descend into a hell of rage.”
A couple of days before he wrote this piece, and after Erick Son Of Erick personally disinvited Trump from his RedState shindig hosting GOP POTUS candidates because of Trump’s sexist attack on Hot Fox Blonde Megyn Kelly, one of the front page posts on Red State began with this:

The lack of self-awareness and/or editorial control is mindbending.

Tough to see how the Trumpathon dies out before the Iowa caucus in February.
Apparently, Trump didn’t visit the butter cow at the Iowa Fair. How could anyone pass that up? I could pass on all that deep fried crap there — but never the butter cow.
IA SOS Presidential Straw Poll — running total. It doesn’t have the same cache it had in years past. Like in 2008 when Willard dropped a small bundle getting folks there to vote for him. Or 2012 when wide-eyes made cut a hole in her campaign purse to get her Xtain soldiers there. So, it’s not going to be as relevant as Mitt and Michelle’s Iowa straw poll wins.
GOP still lovin The Donald. But Dr. Ben is getting lots of sugar. The HP chick has pulled ahead of Scotty and might be closing in on Teddy. Jeb(?) is still ahead of Rand, the Huckster and Piyush; so, he’s not out of this thing yet.
In actual vote totals, Clinton beats all the GOP contenders except Dr. Ben and The Donald. The Bern also lags behind The Big D.
While the IA Straw Poll is close to meaningless, some of those in the clown car that are expected to do well in the caucus vote posted some seriously low numbers in the straw poll.
Jeb(?) 6%
Huckster 3.3% (Jindal did better than Huck)
Paul 3.9%
Walker 6%
Rubio and Cruz at 7% are nearer the numbers they’ve been getting in the polls.
Barring a Trump or Carson implosion in the next five months, not at all difficult to imagine Cruella and fourteen Chihuahuas vying for third place in the GOP caucus.
There are dumber, watch “Bear Man”.
Drugged out hippie fails to realize his dreams, decides to go live with and document bears in Alaska, with zero training as a game warden or biologist. Tons of footage of him slapping bears in the face claiming you have to “be a samurai” to deal with them. Getting right up next to them as well. Eventually gets himself and his girlfriend eaten alive with the recorder going.
At the end they interview all sorts of Alaskan natives (ie Indian type) and game wardens. One of them says “I think he got away with it for so long because the bears thought he was retarded”, half the game wardens start off with “well, look shame about the girl, but…”. Another game warden is all “well, he was stupid but the real tragedy is we had to kill the bear to make sure it was his remains in it’s stomach”. People are fucking dumb.
Oh, and there was an incident way back in the (70’s or 80’s) here in Washington DC when some idiots (drunken teens) jumped into the polar bear enclosure to swim in the pool, they got eaten as well. And in some other zoo there was another idiot (hippie this time) jumped into the tiger enclosure to put a flower wreath around it’s neck, he got his torn off on camera.
There’s an old joke about bear pepper spray and bells as self defense and to let them know your coming. Black bear droppings are small and round pellets that have berry seeds in them. Grizzly bear droppings are large, smell like peppers, and have bells in them. Short of a shotgun or .50 cal revolver there is no such thing as bear defense. If Winnie The Pooh has had enough of your shit, you’re dead. Every now and then you hear of some jackass that tries to fend off a brown bear with their dogs and a 9mm, and lasts all of 30 seconds.
Vox (the least hysterical source on this matter) Jeremy Corbyn, the socialist who’s tearing Britain’s Labour Party apart, explained
Labour and Blair are apparently unaware that they haven’t been in power for over five years and working class Brits sort of hate their guts.
Yeah for all the right thinking Brits saying yea for Corbyn. Time to scare the pants off all those Tory wannabes.
Some large portion of Americans seem to want to follow the Italian lead and elect a clown with a bunga-bunga army. Another chunk can’t stop thinking about the ’90s (trust me it wasn’t much fun or anything to get nostalgic for). Longing for the day the US Blairites are quaking in their loafers.

○ Jeremy Corbyn – Leeds 8th August 2015
It certainly helped after Tony Blair opened his mouth on the Labour leadership issue!
Polling of Labour voters confirms that the leftwing candidate has a significant lead. According to Opinium, 37% would vote for Corbyn if they had a vote – up 13 points from a month ago. Of 1,940 surveyed, 29% would back Andy Burnham, down 10 points from July. Yvette Cooper attracts 19% and Liz Kendall 15%.
