I don't think that Rick Santorum merely misspoke in the moment. This "Africa is a country" error comes up every few years. And no other continent is subject to the same error. I think there's some subconscious ignorance there, even if consciously the person is aware of basic geography.

Concerning today's Ugly, there's a political humor song called "Wouldn't It Be Great If Everybody Had a Gun" by the Arrogant Worms. The best line is "Nobody'd ever get shot, 'cause everybody'd have a gun."

From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Thank you, Senator Sanders for all your hard work for us, the American people. You are the ONLY Senator that I am aware of that routinely takes time to talk to us. We truly appreciate you!
I wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving! =)
