This is the most enlightening self assessment I have ever seen a liberal make about themselves. Great job, grapey!!

…By comparing healthy people and those with damage to different parts of the brain, [scientists] found the front of the brain was key to understanding sarcasm.

Damage to any of three different areas could render individuals unable to understand sarcastic comments.

Autistic children can have problems interpreting sarcasm as well as other social cues such as emotions. This same skill is sometimes lost in people with brain damage…

Of course, I don’t mean to insult the brain damaged or autistic by comparing them to freedumblog, but there has to be a reason for rustylog’s consistent thickheadedness. If not brain damage, then what? His mom fed him leaded paint chips as a child?
