>>...(ever watch Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" routine, where he quizzes folks on easy knowlege?.....I shudder when I see it)<<

Last year, just before the Detroit fireworks, a newsman went around the crowd asking people to sing the Star-Spangled Banner. You'd be surprised how many people don't know the words. Probably, the same doofuses cheering on Bush and his war.

I remember watching Jaywalking once when Leno asked this college girl who took 2nd place in the last presidential election. She puts her finger over her mouth and looks up in the air. Hmmm, gotta think about this one. Let's see...who took second in the last election? Hmmmm...Then Leno says, "Who ran for the democrats?" and the girl says, "Kerry."

"So who took second place?"

The girl slaps her forehead. "Ohhh, Kerry!"

"That's right," said Leno. "So who took first place?"

Once again, the girl put her finger over her lips and looks up in the air.
