Science fiction writer Ben Bova wrote:
The most prescient — and chilling — of all the science fiction stories ever written, though, is “The Marching Morons,” by Cyril M. Kornbluth, first published in 1951. It should be required reading in every school on Earth.

The point that Kornbluth makes is simple, and scary: dumbbells have more children than geniuses. In “The Marching Morons” he carries that idea to its extreme, but logical, conclusion.

Kornbluth tells of a future world that is overrun with dummies: men and women who don’t know anything beyond their own shallow personal interests. They don’t know how their society works, or who is running it. All they care about is their personal — and immediate — gratification.

A comedy with similar reference....Watch the trailer......click me

Busy Weekend

Just got back from a busy weekend.
Bono called me and asked if I would join him for the Hope for Haiti thingy..........



Rihanna was putttin the moves on me. She wanted me big time.......
Jay-Z wanted me to like do a rap with him but I had way too many drinks on the plane.

Then off to help with the rescue effort





Not sure but I think I saw dubya do a fly by while down there.
Kinda reminds me of when he flew over the Katrina mess........boy was he pissed when they made him put his Gameboy down so they could get a pic of him with an expression of concern as he looked out the window.

    Well I must admit it took a lot determination and a great deal of preparation to achieve the look of an old bald headed fart with glasses holding a drink. It wasn't easy. And to get that dumbfounded look.......nearly impossible for the average person.
    Practice, practice, practice.
