As to why we live in a world where Sarah Palin is viewed as anything but useless:
This is from a Pew Center poll that shows again-what I have been saying for months. 50% of the electorate can’t be bothered to vote and of the remaining 50% only about 20% of us have any reasonable command of the facts.
And we wonder why we get the government we do.
It does explain why people robo-vote Sarah Palin’s daughter onto Dancing with the Stars and why Glenn Beck even has a job.
We are so screwed.
