I have read about them on the internet and have seen their videos on youtube but seldom do I meet someone I would call stupid. I like to say they are misinformed. On a recent business trip to Cleveland I was walking to the convention center when I heard a couple argueing. As they got closer the woman asked me to come over and help resolve the comflict. I asked what was wrong and she said will you please tell him (boyfriend I assume) that the White House is not in Pennsylvania. I said that it was not and she laughed and gave me a high five. Undeterred the gentleman asked where it was. I said Washington DC. to which he replied "which is in Pennsylvania". I said no that the land originally belonged to Maryland but the mailing address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He said that was where he got confused. They walked off before I could ask---did you vote?

    This guy reminds me of the Far Side cartoon in which the single-celled wife and husband are hanging out and the wife says: "stimulus, response, stimulus, response, don't you ever think!" lol.

    Seriously. And this woman is dating him, why??? This is what is floating around in the gene pool, eh?
    I think the concept of him voting is really frightening.

    No. Had useful things to do. Saw where she decided to run for governor. Didn't bother to read the article. Here comes the graveyard vote.

    My mother in law (and five sister in laws) moved to Mississippi 34 years ago. In many ways she had a unique way of seeing the world. Her stated reason was because down there she felt "smart".

    I did marry the smartest one of the family BTW, an act that my wife thanks me for each time we visit down there.

    Even though it's probably not a good idea to bury someone who survived a plane crash, the US might bury them in debt anyway.

    If a plane crashed on the border of the US and Canada, where would they bury the survivors?

    If the blue house is on the left side of the street and the red house is on the right...
