There's a post in the Off Season forum about a guy who had a pet rattlesnake and, after having one too many alcoholic beverages, he put the rattlesnake's head in his mouth. The rattlesnake did what rattlesnakes do. It bit him. He was fortunate to make it to the hospital in time and the doctors were able to save his life.
The poster seemed to think that this guy had to be the dumbest guy in the United States.
The folks in Massachusetts keep sending Ted Kennedy back to the Senate. The people of Kalifornia have given us Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. Delaware elected Joe Biden. New York has seen fit to elect Hillary Klinton and Chuckie Schumer. I saw an article in the paper today indicating that Hillary Klinton was now leading the polls for the presidency. I'd say that putting a live rattlesnake in your mouth seems downright intelligent by comparison.
