[Shagbark Hickory]

People are acting stupidly about this. STUPIDLY is in the dictionary hence it is a real word and it's OK to use it. In fairness so is "decider" but I think that was made a word by executive order after Bush used it.

The RW media needs to give it a rest RE: stupider as it's a bonafide part of the English language.
