Nope, and there's the proof.

Heads need to roll for this, but I doubt anything will be done.

Could people please start including the rest of the world in the memos about what defines socialism, communism & fascism. It's really hard keeping up.

10. high schoolers

some percentage of them were smart enough to be smart asses

[Fumesucker]

11. Of course, but not a single one got more than 7 out of ten correct..

I doubt they were *all* smart asses..

And, for what it's worth, in what other culture is calling someone "smart" part of an insult?
