Vermont . . . "Is that in Canada?"

[CrispyQ]

Hubby is watching a new MTV "Made" as I surf & source out some Plame/Rove info for my LTTE. I took a brief break & heard her "Made" coach tell her he was going to a snowboard competition in Vermont. "Is that in Canada?" she asked.

Please tell me this girl was just trying to be 'cute' for the camera. (Although, the other day when I talked to an acquaintance & they didn't know who Dick Cheney was, I was overcome by a sense of desperation.)

:banghead:

1. Don't tempt Vermont. n/t

2. God, I wish we were all part of Canada, especially Vancouver. Ahhh, if

I could move my property to a sane, progressive, place like Canada. I know you were making another point. My vote is for "DUMB" on the girl. No one ever sees or hears of Cheney in the light of day so I can understand not knowing who he is. I wish I didn't.

3. I can top that

A contestant on Beauty and the Geek had no idea when D Day was and thought Columbus sailed in 1942. To top it off, she thought Hoover was President during the Civil War. The punchline is that she had gotten an A on a history final following that show.

4. I share your frustration.

Yet these same people think it's perfectly okay for us to impose our lifestyle and values on the rest of the world -- violently or otherwise -- because "we're #1" dammit!

:crazy:

I made a comment to a coworker (with a draftable son) about the possible complicity of Cheney in the Rove/Plame matter and she said, "I'm sorry, I'm just not informed enough to have any idea what you're talking about." But she thinks the war is a great thing because "we're saving those poor people from that guy!" (She meant Saddam, but she didn't even know his name or that he's in custody, only that he was a "bad guy.")

Apathy and stupidity are a deadly combination.

5. Truer words were never spoken . . .

Apathy and stupidity are a deadly combination.

And these people VOTE!!!!!!!! Arghhhh!!!

[question everything]

6. I remember a story before the Olympics in Atlanta

Some from New Mexico wanted to buy tickets, but was told that buyers from foreign countries had to follow a different route - do not remember the details.

7. Oh good grief!

Cheney is more in the shadows anyways so that I can understand why but not knowing where Vermont is??? :crazy:

8. Remember Bush and Charlotte Church?

Charlotte Church (a young singer from Wales) had a meeting with Shrub, and he asked her where she was from. She said "Wales", to which our ever enlightened leader replied, "what state is that in?"

All true.

9. *shakes head in disbelief*

I hadn't heard that. Sheesh, the man can't open his mouth without embarrassing the country. Arghh!!!

10. Not that unusual, actually

I'm from Vermont. In my youth, I spent several weeks hitchhiking around the country. I was picked up by several people who, upon hearing where I was from asked me, "What state is that in?"

It's okay, though. Vermonters would prefer idiots not know where we are. ;)

11. You could say

it was in New York.

12. BITE YOUR TONGUE!!!!!!

I would not sully my state with such a remark. We became an independent republic because we were sick of both New Hampshire and New York laying claim to us.

In New York! Sheesh! :nuke:

13. we?

you must be old.
