    The Stupid Vote

    What the Republicans discovered with Saint Ronnie is that a substantial plurality of the American electorate is as dumb as a box of rocks. What's the matter with Kansas is that a majority of the voters are stupid. Why worry about things like deficits if you can't read numbers nor newspapers?
