Sad Statz and PBH’s New Internet Celebrity
Here’s Mark Twain:
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.

Some stats that should make you throw up in your mouth: 41 percent of Americans think Saddam was directly involved in September 11th, 71 percent Think Global Warming Has Nothing to do With Man’s Actions, and 56% of Atheists Believe Christianity is Just as Dangerous to America as Islam (gee, I wonder why). Likewise, 45 percent of Germans consider America more dangerous than Iran. Imagine that.
