are you stuck on stupid ... ?

.
coup d'etat : a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics; especially
: the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group

Twenty First Century Americans who still believe their government operates the way it is "s'posed to" are comatose.


During a press conference about hurricane Katrina, when things got a little too hot for New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Lieutenant General Russel L. Honore took the microphone.

As reporters continued to ask questions about the previous hurricane, Rita, General Honore interrupted:

"You're asking last storm questions for people who are concerned about the future storm. Don't get stuck on stupid, reporters. We're moving forward."

The very next question came from a male reporter:

"General, a little bit more about why that's happening this time, though it did not happen last time..."

Honore replied:

"You are stuck on stupid. I'm not going to answer that question...
Let's talk about the future. Rita is happening."


Today, in a broader sense, I have come to define "stuck on stupid" as those Americans who continue to live in the past, as if nothing has changed in the way their own government operates.

Nothing is at it used to be.

America is not Camelot, this is not " the city on the shining hill"

Nothing has been the same for The People of the United States of America ...

Since THE Coup d'etat of November 22, 1963
