batskeetsI stubmled upon this posting yesterday, discussing what is apparently the state of the average American voter. Some of the statistics they rattled off were disturbing, in that, "I can't believe people are actually that dumb," sort of way.
This one, however, was just plain terrifying:
--Nearly half (49%) of Americans think the president has the authority to suspend the Constitution.
Is it any wonder that people aren't angry about what our government is doing, when almost half of them think the president can just throw out the Constitution completely? Jesus.
It's times like this when I find myself agreeing with people like this. (it's an amusing snippet, by the way)
I had crappy cell phone pictures of house-y goodness to share today, but I forgot my cell phone at home. So, it'll have to wait. ;p (never mind that what I *should* have done was brought the good camera, but eh, I had to go straight from work)
And in conclusion, I sure do like strawberries.
