I like the prank to go around getting women to sign petitions to "End Women's Suffrage".

Okay... I know VP, was correct on Speaker, know who just stepped down as Secretary of State, but didn't know until today who had replaced her. Know the past two Secretaries before her. Can name president and VP back until I was born. Feeling a bit better now.
That ended that, and we were able to go back to drinkin', jokes, cars & chicks.
Sound like a far more productive conversation.
Just FYI: I wasn't trying to assert that anyone is "stupid" for not knowing who the current secretary of state is. I know plenty of smart people who've thrown up their hands and decided they're done paying attention to politics.
Just as it pertains to political discussions, I'm not going to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. I listen to a bare minimum of 2 hours of news a day in the interest of not being a dumbberkeley who knows more about American Idol than American politics, so I'm not going to waste my breath arguing with a person who doesn't have enough interest in politics to know who the berkeleying Vice President is...not that they're missing much. 
I routinely try to forget who the VP is.

Lurch. From the Addams Family. Duh.
Come on guys why are you beating up the VP its not like he's a plagiarist or anything. Oh the SoS, I love that guy with 4 purple hearts and all.

Wouldn't have accused you of it. Just using it as a litmus test of, "Am I a dumbberkeley blowhard who doesn't pay nearly as much attention to current affairs and politics as I think I do."

Oh, I know you didn't. Just didn't want anyone else to think that was the case. And I'm not trying to come off like some kind of berkeleying scholar. I spend a lot of time in the car. It's a good excuse to stay up on current events.
Also, I wasn't trying to turn this into a political thread, so like, quit it, shiny happy people.
What we need is a three party system. I predict a landslide win for the Idiot-cratican party in 2016.

As this thread showed from the beginning, there is no shortage of stuff we can all agree is berkeleying idiotic no matter where you fall politically...
United in frustration.
I blame Canada personally......
I blame Canada for being so easy to blame

I don't think you need our help.
Canada? Hah! We may be a buncha rubes, but at least we don't have 57 channels of reality shows. Also- Kardashians.

We have too many, and are happy to loan you a few of them. Heck you can keep them, even. We'll never notice.
You should see some our reality shows. They're pretty tame, but not goofy or retarded (at least the ones I know of).
You'll need to log in to post.
