This is Scary

This evening's headlines on MSN.com are as follows:

1. A Slate piece on what to do if your mother-in-law comes to your wedding wearing too little clothing.

2. An article on the fashion sense of fundamentalist polygamist women.

3. Commentary on a children's book about plastic surgery for Moms.

Oh. My.

Come on, this is a serious comment from a serious candidate for the highest office in the nation?!? Why isn't this a top story? Is it somehow less important than the fashion statement made by unusually modest clothing of some very religious women? Why isn't she being booed out of the race? My husband tells me that he studied those nuke bombs a bit in physics classes. Apparently the little "firecrackers" they used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are what they use to get a nuke going. And while she's at it, she'd like to get NATO in on the fun.

Is she TRYING to start World War 3?

I wasn't going to vote for her anyway, but this is just scary.

Incidentally, Barack also says he wouldn't rule out the use of a nuke. They mention it at the bottom of that same article.
