Yep. Both sides have idiots, but the Republicans have more, and they elect more of them to public office and put more of them in positions of power. ---

And I remember that “shittier” bit re politicians - almost as good as his definition of “exponentially:” > [@Louis Black](#): > > Halftime at the Super Bowl is the best because halftime at the Super Bowl has gotten exponentially worse every year. I use the word ‘exponentially’ because I was taught it in math class and that was the first sentence I could use it in. ‘Exponentially worse’ means shittier and shittier and shittier. ---

Exactly. If Humpy could find a liberal who got arrested for DUI then in his mind driving under the influence would be a stupid liberal idea. ---
