Stephen Colbert, Newt Gingrich eats the media

Mika’s dad, Zbigniew Brzezinski was on Morning Joe today pushing a new book that listed the 5 things that are bringing American down. The most important of which he said is education. "A democracy cannot survive if the participants are ignorant." His nice way of saying something I say quite often, here in the United States of Duh.

It is not just the parochial nature of our educational system which seldom delves into much of anything beyond our borders. Or is it a religious culture of anti-science that causes most Americans to deny both evolution and Global Warming. Nor is it just the children we are depriving of understanding the world around us – but as is so obvious from the standing ovation the South Carolina audience gave Newt for making the factual information the NOT FOX media presents – an evil entity.
