Is this the "Age of Ignorance"?

Jane, you ignorant slut.

 

Funny? What do you mean by funny?

 

"Where else on earth would a president who rescued big banks from bankruptcy with taxpayers’ money and allowed the rest of us to lose $12 trillion in investment, retirement, and home values be called a socialist? "

How did the bank bailout hurt home values? The real estate bubble burst before that, unless he's implying Obama should have bailed out each individual homeowner in which case, yes, he's a socialist.

 

Did you read the piece?

 

When I was in college, we had a journalism professor who gave a current events quiz at the start of every class. Five questions, five minutes. Every time you got a perfect 5-of-5, you got one point added to your final grade. The idea was to get kids to read the newspaper and show up to class.

He said only about five or six of us in a class of 200 got more than a point or two added to their final grade. These weren't difficult questions, either. You could basically get every answer just by reading headlines.
