"Ummm... I don't know who that is."

I've seen links to this video and the poll results on more than one blog recently, but I only just now clicked play. Oh my.

"I like Jon Stewart."

"You get your news from 'The Daily Show'?"

"And the Colbert Report."

That about sums it up, doesn't it?

But here's the funny/sad/scary part...

For centuries, only the landed gentry could vote. Then the common man acquired a passion for well-informed political discourse and demanded his rightful place at the table. Life was good. Better than it ever had been.

So, what happens now that the common man has devolved back into gullible illiteracy? The landed gentry are back in business, baby!
