[TopQuark]

The author is far behind the times. For several decades Americans were taught to feel and take a stand. Where have you seen a suggestion that one had to be wise. Look at the networks and newspapers: do they report even what their intelligence permits?

This hiring is therefore but a tiny step in miles-long path: as USUAL, they hired a party hack, someone who was sure to bash the conservative movement. Since when does bashing require intelligence?

The author thus intelligently ponders a stupid question.
