How Many States?

After 4 fun-filled days in The Windy City, I have returned. Since the majority of the D&F readership was with me in Chicago, I'm guessing not too many people were inconvenienced by my absence. But for the 5 of you out there that were not at the wedding festivities, I hope your withdrawal symptoms weren't too bad.

Before proceeding with the post, I have decided that I am going to steer away from blatant political commentary. There's an endless stream of websites and blogs that will gladly try to convince you of the proper cause, and I would much rather spend my time making fun of stupid people and the stupid things they do. Coincidently, government (and therefore politics) seems to be filled with stupid people so more often that not, I will feature an elected person and / or government official that has done or is doing something stupid.

Please note: I am not making a judgment or attempting to sway your political beliefs; rather, in the case of government stupidity, I am simply pointing out that the people we trust to run the government aren't much more intelligent than the people we see on Jerry Springer. If the stupid person in question is not a government official, well, I'm just showing you how stupid he / she is.

Without further ado - here's a clip of Obama speaking in Oregon. Listen for the geography lesson:


You can't watch that and not think of the Friends episode with Chandler's Stupid State game. Unfortunately, Joey is no longer the champion seeing that Obama came up with one more state than Joey:

Obama graduated from Harvard, FYI.
