Always strive to learn something useful. --Sophocles

"Um, I'm very sorry, right off the top of my head, I know that there are a lot, but I'll put it up on my website, I promise you."
-- Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell, asked to name a recent Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed

In some ways, I'd like to see her get elected. We have plenty of idiots in Congress, what's one more? It reminds me of the one and only televised debate that Arizona governor Jan Brewer did, showed up as an absolute idiot with no public extemporaneous speaking skills, something that's kind of important in the state's highest elected official. Brewer was appointed when Napolitano was picked to head up Homeland Security, Brewer is running for governor for the first time though she has held other elected office previously. Most famously Brewer claimed in a TV interview that decapitated bodies had been found in the AZ desert caused by drug runners, something thoroughly debunked.

Basically I want people SMARTER THAN ME IN CONGRESS AND HIGHER. I've never understood this "would you like to have a beer with him?" mentality.
