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.

Good News: 431,000 Jobs Created

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Even excluding temporary hiring for the Census, the United States is adding jobs, President Barack Obama said Friday. Obama said the May jobs report is evidence that the U.S. economy is "getting stronger by the day." Excluding 411,000 temporary Census workers, payrolls rose by 20,000 in May, weaker than expected by analysts surveyed by MarketWatch.
President BananaHead went on to say, "Why can't we make these temporary census jobs ...... permanent".
"Look ....... we have and oil spill ........ give each of these workers, a row boat and 6 rolls of Bounty paper towels and send them out in the gulf ....... it will do two things ........ create jobs ....... good jobs ....... and cleans up the mess BP made".
"That will keep these workers busy for years".
"And when they are done with that they can paddle their ass over to Israel and create a row boat blockade to keep those crazy terrorist loving activist from hurting our pals over in the Middle East ............ win win situation ......... creates jobs and gets the Jooooo haters".
"Look, I know many of you are saying, why should we help a nation that attacked an unarmed ship in international waters and shot an American 4 times in the head ..... and to those folks I say, Paul McCartney sang for us the other nite, and that is more important than what you may read or see in the media that we don't control".
