Dixie Lee Ray, PhD, 1914-1994, was a one term governor (D) of Washington State elected in 1976. Many attributed her winning to the 8% of the electorate who voted for the OWL Party (Out with Logic, On with Lunacy), a group of patrons of a Tumwater Bar who discovered you needed only $25 to register as a candidate for a statewide office and be published in the official election guide.
I admired the woman for proving, convincingly, women can be just as incompetent as men in high public office.
Now we have Barrack Hussein Obama, J.D. who used the Internet to sway disenchanted voters. Anybody not see where this posting is headed? If not, leave a comment and I will finish it.

I dont understand it at all.....but i was not alive in the 1920s so i would not know this story as well as you do....shit you were there!
You don't understand it because you are the product of our public education system, circa late 20th Century.
Nice attempt at sarcastic humor, however.
Incompetence is as incompetence does... (or doesn't, depending)
Like the education system was any better when you were growing up, i hate all the older people that jammer on about how "Back in my day" you could learn some thing in school, and candy bars were a 5 cents and the best one "You have it easy". Most every one that is 18 to 30 right now has more real world or "useable" knowledge then the 55+ . If being smart is knowing about some lame ass political people then i would rather be stupid.
OK 396. The system was better when I was growing up and even better in my parents time because standards were higher and you met those standards or you flunked. The systems were not "Dumbed Down" to protect precious little egos.
To finish the post, Obama will prove, convincingly, that a black man can be as incompetent as a white man.
The 8% who voted for the OWL party as a joke were ignorant and didn't think of the consequences.
Those who got caught up in the Hope and Change fervor didn't stop to think how all of it was going to be paid for.
Your generation is the ones who will be paying for all of this for the next twenty or so years. The lame ass political people you choose to remain ignorant of do study and learn from history and, given a chance, will reduce you and the children you plan to have to serfdom.
