I've had to deal with idiots a lot. (I'm not talking about anyone on TPM). And I just realized how to handle one, listen up.

I recently replied to a story on HuffPost about Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts. This story had nothing whatsover to do with any Court case. It had to do with his credit card number being stolen recently, something I can sympathize with because, well, I was a victim of this crime recently too.

As often happens, an idiot replied to my post, claiming that someone "greased his palm" to influence his decision on Obamacare and that I was being "paid by the billionaire left PR propaganda machine to say these things".

My post did not even mention Obamacare, or any political issue at all. Folks have made this accusation against me many times, mainly by birthers and other right-wing nuts who believe conspiracy theories.

I didn't deny it this time. This time I told him, "Why thank you, it's putting my daughter through college."

And he didn't bother me again. Take note.
