Well, I suppose the baggers and bigots will applaud her.

uninformed Americans is that every one could easily explain the difference between Miley Cyrus and Honey Boo Boo. We are surrounded by willful ignorance.

Here's your evidence. They could hand you a pile of dog shit, tell you it's a bouquet of roses, and 95% of people who vote for republicans would believe it.

...somehow a political discussion started up, with one lady screeching about Obama and "socialism"

I politely tried to get her to define socialism, acting like I really didn't know exactly what it meant. After a few seconds of stammering she managed to say that it was "socialistic" before changing the subject. The sad part is that she never missed a beat. The fact that she had no idea what she was talking about, seemed to become aware of that for a second, and yet did not change course.

I would have loved to ask her how she can yammer on so fervently about something when she doesn't even know what it is.

she probably couldn't give a reason for it being "bad" if she had had an inkling what it was.
