As a connoisseur of News From the Madhouse, I'd recommend the following story from Nellie Bowles (The Free Press). I'd call it something like "Profiles in Stupidity"

Thanks I’ll check Nellies story. I subscribe to the Free Press but have not seen hers yet. Ted Goia at The Honest Broker had a post this week on the value of studying stupidity. Maybe it’s a new topic of interest!

Yeah, I saw the post by Goia. Could easily be augmented by the Bible, and Proverbs in particular. BTW, were you aware that there are five different Hebrew terms used for “the fool” in Proverbs? It’s an interesting word study.
