“Don’t make ’em too hard or people won’t buy ’em!”

After years and years of enjoying crossword puzzles as a pastime, suddenly there were nothing left on the supermarket shelves by Very Easy Crosswords and Sudoku. All the satisfyingly challenging crossword magazines were discontinued.

Proof That America is Getting Dumber

I called the publisher. What happened to my crossword puzzle magazines? The answer: “People stopped buying them, they were too hard.” Well ain’t that grand–and us with the most costly and intrusive “education” system ever devised by man.

“Three Letters: Popular Pet That Goes ‘Meow.'”

Not very satisfying, is it?

We just went out for Patty’s wine, a mere 15-minute run in which we managed to spot two misspelled signs.

One: “Plain And Simpol Comfort Food.” Simpol.

Two: “CLEANERS,” with a backwards “E”.

I’m sure they’re not the only ones. But what’s the story with these signs? Is this really what we get out of the costliest, most intrusive, most self-consciously grand “education” system in the world? These are professionally-painted signs. You have to pay someone to create one. And all they create is the spelling.

Have you seen any misspelled signs lately? If so, you’re cordially invited to share them here.

My wife was taking a You.Gov survey this morning when she encountered this multiple-choice question.

Do you disapprove of:

A) Everything the President does?

B) Almost everything the President does?

C) A lot of the things the President does?

Gee, what’s wrong with this picture? Seventy million of us voted for the guy–but now the Experts can say “We’ve got a poll that shows Trump with a 100% disapproval rating!”

Okay, they’re upset. Donald Trump is the wrecking ball that’s gonna bring down their whole tower of fraud, corruption, and mendacity. We mustn’t be allowed to re-elect him!

But we’re not that stupid, sunshine, despite the best efforts of your schools and colleges to make us so; and we are coming for you.

The Lord’s gonna cut you down.
