I suspect that we already have a creationist in the White House.

As for Mr. Huckabee, all I can imagine is that if he did actually make it into the Oval Office, it would signal (to me, at least) that the US is now beyond hope, and will continue its decline into a Theocracy. Then again, decline is my term. For some, I guess they would call it an ascent.

Is it possible to elect a worse president than George W Bush? Oh yes. You could put a creationist in the White House!

1. Europe is not a Country
2. France is a Country
3. There is a Country called Hungary
4. The capital of this Country Called Hungary is called ‘Budapest’.

Was this woman the worst of the lot, or is she typical? Based on more and more of what I see and hear, the film ‘Idiocracy’ comes to mind (a future dreamed up by Mike Judge, of Beavis and Butthead fame, where ‘natural selection’ has resulted in steadily dropping intelligence over time, leading to a country entirely populated by slack-jawed imbeciles).

I always figured these clips of Mercer’s, hilarious though they are, segmented out the worst of the offenders, whereas the vast majority of people in the states know damn well our parliament is not an igloo! Do you think I’m overly optimistic?

And, I just saw “sicko” last week. Any idea how many people in the States saw it?
