Cartoon for October 22
In Mike Judge’s cult film “Idiocracy” (a must-see for cultural elitists everywhere), stupid people breed at a faster rate than smart ones until, 500 years later, the U.S. has been reduced to utter moronitude.
Which got me thinking.
Perhaps, though it’s hard to imagine why, a perfectly intelligent person might have joined the military early in the Bush Administration. Four years into Iraq and six years into the meatgrinder of Afghanistan, however, it’s fair to say that only a less than brilliant person would sign away his life for, literally, nothing. (Save your e-mails, righties: citing “patriotism” as a reason to enlist doesn’t work. French patriots didn’t fight for the Vichy regime during World War II. They joined the resistance. A patriot would have nothing to do with the military while the White House is occupied by an illegitimate coup leader.)
Anyway, if the carnage continues in Iraq for another 500 years, it stands to reason that the average I.Q. of those who remain behind will increase. Thus this cartoon…
