"How much education does it take to make a person stupid enough to believe him?
I wouldn't be bragging about a college degree these days."

God are you ever right! Fr. John Neuhaus likes to say "What are intellectuals for but to complexify the obvious?"
"Back where I come from we have Universities, seats of learning where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts, and with no more brains than you. But they do have one thing you haven't got: a diploma. Therefore, by virtue of the power invested in me by the Universitatas Committiatum E Pluribus Unum, I hereby confer unto you the honorary degree of Th.D....that's, uh, Doctor of Thinkology".
How can I ever thank you enough?"
