In a new series, which I just decided to start today called “Idiocracy Watch,” I plan to chronicle stories that expose the fact that the U.S. of A. is still a nation of stupid people who blend anti-intellectualism with racism to create ignorance and intolerance.
Today’s entry comes via Editor & Publisher , which has, since the election, been tracking stories of hate and bigotry related to our country having somehow elected a black man to the presidency. Here are some l... more
I think Holger Awakens says it all.Â
