A talk show host on a Baltimore radio station calls his 'person on the street' interview segment "Curb Your Intelligence." Sometimes I have to wonder if there are really people out there that stupid of if they are just goofing on him.

“Do you think this is serious?”

Sure ... I think it is serious. But, I also think Three Stooges movies are serious.

Whenever a liberal brings up Richard Nixon, I ask them to cite the alleged crimes he committed. The response is usually "Well, there was a burglary at the DNC Headquarters, and something about a 'slush fund', whatever that is". They are never vague, however, about how they feel about RMN. As always, they're short on facts but long on opinions.
