were able to locate their own state on a map.

Ah, yes, another Carville wannabe shows up...it's not "ignorance," it's
apathy, and you and Ken are as apathetic as anyone. You're so convinced
of your correctness that you don't see any need to expend any effort to
at least check to see if your kool-aid is spiked, too. Heck, no need to
question anything - NPR, Pelosi, Howard the Duck, and Billary have saved
yer soul! They have HEALED ya, brothers and sisters! YOU HAVE SEEN THE
LIGHT AND JESUS IS THAT LIG...oh, wait...sorry...wrong bunch...YOU HAVE
SEEN THE LIGHT AND BECAUSE OF THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, JESUS
WON'T BE MENTIONED!! Gimme that ol' time relig...oops, sorry again...ya
just can't keep up with which nuts are which...gimme that Clinton-era
