A third of Americans are out to lunch. Always were, always will be.

They are not reachable and I don't see any reason to bother.

The biggest taboo in the USA is for the press and even conservative columnists to tell it straight . . .

ignorance runs rampant in the USA.

It gets worse every year with the population boom of illegal aliens and a high population birth from public school grads.

For politically correct reasons, rare is it that any commentator tell the truth--America is a highly ignorant society.

Perhaps one reason is because the media keep saying the economy stinks.

Bush has to sell the economy and its his fault for the negative perception. Its not fair, but those are the rules.

A third of Americans are out to lunch. Always were, always will be.

It's likely the same third that sympathizes with Cindy Sheehan's antics.

It's a twist on the old 80-20 principle: roughly 20-30 percent do 80 percent of the complaining. Eighty percent of the MSM's coverage is dedicated to playing up their worst fears and feeding their delusions.
