There are plenty of American idiots that think the same way. Stupidity is an equal opportunity employer.

Actually, there are preferences - as in most things these days - for those who are leftist (or "pre-leftist") in their ideology. They go to the front of the stupid lines. They get preferences in all things stupid.

To wit: I decided to pick up the free rag that they force into your hands while you're trying to get into the subway station every morning. I was waiting for a bagel to be toasted, so in the weakness of boredom I scanned it. When I got to the article featuring a review of a movie about how Paul McCartney really was dead all these years, I found new strength -- from some primitive survival instinct, I trust -- to pull myself away.

This was the same paper (AM New York) that quoted Reuters last week as saying the Segue, that stupid little two-wheeled go-cart, was made famous when George W. Bush fell off of one. It wasn't, apparently, made famous by the biggest pre-release hype of any product in the history of civilization a year before it hit the streets. No. It was only years after, when the President did what just everyone who goes near one of things does - he fell off it.

In fact, the article was about how the president of the company that makes the Segue fell off it, or drove off a cliff or something. I don't suppose that would make it famous, either. Certainly not as famous as Rueters would have it be when W took a spill.

/rant. Man, that was cathartic.
