Roseanne's Nuts-- In More Ways Than One

The photo accompanying this post is from 1990, showing Roseanne Barr giving her famous performance at a baseball stadium.  In what was described as "shrieking," Ms. Barr's version of the National Anthem could be seen as expressing her viewpoint on the United States of America.  It has recently hit the news that Ms. Barr is running for president in the 2012 election. 

Some people do stupid things, and then grow up.  While Roseanne Barr has done plenty of the former, it does not appear she has ever done the latter.  Instead, she continued to spend years attempting to persuade the American public to follow her nutty ideas on every subject imaginable. 

Even the slightest degree of taking Roseanne Barr seriously puts the United States in a bad light.  What is even worse is the thought of someone like Ms. Barr being in a position of authority and power.  Education of American children, the military, health care, and a wide variety of other issues--  these need to be in the hands of someone who is both stable and competent.  Roseanne Barr is neither.

Ms. Barr really needs to confine herself to her macadamia nut farm.  While the less we hear from her in general is a good thought, we should at least have the peace-of-mind of knowing this individual will never make it into public office.  If she does indeed have any supporters in her quest for the presidency, perhaps they have the same dim point of view on the United States as she expressed in 1990.
