It is hard to imagine the gulf between, say, Presidential candidates Adlai Stevenson or Jack or Bobby Kenndy and Sara Palin....I guess Darwin WAS wrong and it is the survival of the least fit that pass on their genes and jeans.
Where mediocrity becomes the norm,
it is not long
before mediocrity becomes the ideal.

The BBC did a piece on Americans who dislike Obama [hate is closer to their feelings] and many of them loved Sara. One older man when asked what he liked about Sara Palin for President said, 'Well, she's really pretty and nice to look at....I'm serious...I'm being serious!' It is all like a Monty Python skit....but frighteningly real. I think Palin better fits the Dead Parrot sketch. And I dare anyone to present evidence of general 'dumbing down' of the American population. They are as bright as, say, W or Sara...and that is real bright!:o
