Craig Stanley, the Ultimate Moron

For everyone who doesn't know, Craig Stanley is a state assemblyman for New Jersey, and one of the BIGGEST morons. Not because he's an avid Baptist deacon, but because he publicly flaunts ignorance. Sort of like what G.W. Bush does, but on a smaller scale.

Stanley is trying to change the name of the New Jersey Devils, a 3-time Stanley Cup champion hockey team based in Newark, NJ. According to him, it's a bad thing in this day and age to name a sports team after a demonic figure. (I guess he's a huge fan of the California Angels, then). But the joke is on Craig Stanley, because the Devils AREN'T named after the satanic antichrist. The NJ Devils were named after a mythical creature that people called "the Jersey Devil" that was supposedly located somewhere in backwoods of southern New Jersey. The Jersey Devil has NOTHING to do with God's bane. I'm not even from New Jersey and I know this. If someone born in Canada and raised in California knows this, shouldn't the New Jersey state assemblyman also? That's pretty freakin' embarassing.

That's as dumb as saying the Stanford Cardinals should be renamed because it's inappropriate to name a high profile college mascot after a person/position of such dignity and religious significance. It's like naming them the Stanford Popes.

"Um, but you moron, the Stanford Cardinals were named after the colour cardinal, not the religious position in the Catholic establishment (and not the bird, either). There is absolutely no relationship to each other."

Now, if the hockey team we fondly refer to as the Devils were named the New Jersey Antichrists, the mascot was G.W. Bush, and their logo was a burning cross, then maybe I'd agree with Craig Stanley that things should be changed.

And why isn't the state assemblyman for Arizona State clamoring about the Sun Devils?

Stanley should wear a paper bag over his head for making such an assinine public gesture and flaunting his nonsensical comments. He would have saved more face if he had held a press conference and said, "I'm an idiot, and I'm damn proud of it."
