Did a United States Congressman really just express concerns that an island will tip over and capsize? Really? Seriously?

Eddie, did you put something "special" in my cigars?

Because, unfortunately, the majority of the voting public is a bunch of idiots as well...

Our educational system sucks...which is why U.S. GDP will continue to shrink, and why our economy will continue to stagnate (no, deficit spending is not the main problem). From an innovation standpoint, we will no longer be the greatest nation on the planet in a few years, and the economic success of this country will reflect that...

In fact, if you quantify innovation as a percentage of GDP, I'd guess we no longer are the most innovative country on the planet... (and I'm guessing most economists would agree)

The level of intelligence of the "average American" is disgraceful, and it's time that we raise the average (or at least the median)...

My guess is that intelligent people tend to vote for intelligent people, so if we were able to raise the intelligence of the average American, my guess is that we would see the intelligence of the average elected official increase as well...
