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

But Of Course

The government spent $175 million investigating the Challenger space shuttle disaster. 
It spent $152 million on the the Columbia disaster investigation.
 
It spent $30 million investigating the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The government only authorized $15 million for the 9/11 Commission.

And how much has the government authorized for the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission? You know, the commission charged with getting to the bottom of what caused the financial crisis?
Just $8 million.
 
Well we spent a ton of money cuz we needed to know what caused the shuttles to blow up and those pesky tiles to fall off.
Monica, well we needed to know what a sexual relation meant and what to use to get stains out.

I think we over spent on the 9/11 thingy cuz we all knew it was crazy Arabs that hate America cuz our women wear hardly any clothes and the buildings fell due to kerosene and office supplies. Duh.
 
$8 million wasted when all you have to do is listen to Glenn Beck, Rush or Hannity and they will explain to you the reason we had a finacial crisis was cuz of Barney Frank, Clinton years, ACORN and black people who couldn't afford their mortgages cuz they were out buying drugs, ale and bling bling.
