I just witnessed a bit of Jay Leno humor and have to ask myself that question. While I know he must ask many people many questions and edit out all except those truly idiotic answers, it is hard to believe that even one person wouldn't know who Benedict XVI is, or that Kerry and Bush were the two presidential candidates in the last election. No, Tony Blair isn't a black lady who works with George Bush. That's Aunt Jemima dontcha know! Yah. This general lack of knowledge about the goings on in the world around them wouldn't be so difficult to understand if this situation was the case for all events and activities. There seemed to be a generally high degree of knowledge about really important popular culture topics such as who the judge is on American Idol, or what the name of the street is in Desparate Housewives. Sometimes truth is much stranger than fiction.
I need a bit of extra shut-eye tonight so I am going to leave my meanderings for right now.
