Americans are NOT stupid



So Scoble twitters a link to this little gem showing Americans' knowledge of current affairs. Of course, for every incompetent respondent they probably found two or three people who answered thoughtfully to their questions --but that wouldn't make for good TV, wouldn't it?

What caught my eye though was the logo on the clip. I had to find out what it was all about. Well, what do you know? CNNN is a news parody show straight out of Australia and financed by the Australian Broadcasting Company. Can you imagine PBS producing The Daily Show?

I. Think. Not.

Words to live by

"I must admit moreover that it may not be easy, in every possible case, to trace the line of separation between the rights of religion and the Civil authority with such distinctness as to avoid collisions and doubts on unessential points. The tendency of a usurpation on one side or the other, or to a corrupting coalition or alliance between them, will be best guarded by an entire abstinence of the Government from interference in any way whatever, beyond the necessity of preserving public order, and protecting each sect against trespass on its legal rights by others."


— -- James Madison, letter to Reverend Adams, in Robert L. Maddox, Separation of Church and State: Guarantor of Religious Freedom (1987) p. 39
