‘Dumbest Generation’ book title may have something
I tried to find something at BookTV.org linking to the video of an interview they did with a writer named Mark Bauerlein, about his recent book, “The Dumbest Generation.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any video to point you toward.Ah-HAH! Even better. I found an interview with Bauerlein discussing the book on YouTube, and here it is:
How about that? Make you feel good or bad about the “younger generation”? (Or YOUR generation if you’re around 30 or younger?)
Quite frankly, what made me think about this guy’s book was an appalling show of ignorance about President Obama’s appearance and his joking around at a recent White House — media dinner. If you read that article, be sure to read some of the comments on the article. It’s both amazing and appalling (there’s that word again) as you read those comments to see the absolute clueless ignorance by some of the people who posted. Do they really think Obama hasn’t produced a valid birth certificate?? Do they not know EVERY president — Democrats and Republicans alike — have had a joking relationship with the media/press? Do they not know that presidents before Obama have spoken and joked around at this same dinner??
Sorry about all the double question marks. I just finding it appalling — can’t think of a better word — that so many people are so ignorant of the history and daily workings of the media and the White House, etc.
What do you think? Leave a comment about that news story and/or this YouTube video on “The Dumbest Generation.”

Well, they primarily voted for Obama, that tells you something right there about how much thought and study they put into the voting process. Of course, they will also be the ones that will spend their entire adult lives paying for Obama’s naive programs, so maybe they’ll wise up in a decade or two.
