I like the headline in an European paper when Bush was reelected, "How

250000 people be so stupid" or something close to that, I ask myself the
same thing.



Probably they meant 250,000,000 (our approximate national population) rather
than 250,000. They were wrong again, as usual.
Total votes cast were approx 114,000,000 Since we were split so evenly,
politically, there were only half the total that were stupid and that gets
it down to approx. 57,000,000. Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to
agree on which half was the stupid half.

I believe it was a British paper, "How can 59-million people be so
dumb?"

Well, just check the folks who show up at Bush's so-called Town Hall
Meetings. Amazing...

Actually, the problem is that people think the "other side" that
disagrees with them is stupid. No, they disagree, often for very good
reasons.

The people who are stupid, or at least ignorant, are the ones who think
that there is no room for disagreement.
