The Twenty-Percenters


It's fascinating to wonder if the same 20% of Americans who misidentify Obama as a muslim are the same 20% who...

• Can't identify the U.S. on a map
• Don't know who America declared independence from
• Think Bush was a great president
• Believe that witches exist
• Think the sun revolves around the Earth
• Don't use the Web
• Pee in swimming pools
• Believe the apocalypse will happen during their lifetimes
• Think weed is more harmful than alcohol
• Think playing the lottery is the best way to make money
• Believe in alien abductions

Huffington Post's list is pretty entertaining and depressing all at once.

  1. I call them the 24%ers. That is the group who thought Bush the Chimp was still doing a good job in the end.

  2. Oh, and they also believe that a sky pixie plunked his magic twanger 6000 yrs ago and created everything you see.

  3. When I was in High School I got into an argument with a youth pastor about creationism. I asked him about all the millions of years old dinosaur fossils and all the early hominid "missing link" skeletons. He said that none of it ever actually existed. He went on to say the devil planted it in the ground to trick us into believing in evolution. At that point I turned around and walked away. You just can't have a rational argument with someone like that.
