If you're wondering about the state of the republic, consider that this is a country where more people know or care about Paris Hilton's jail time than know or care about Scooter Libby's.

A couple years ago I read a fantastic statistic. I don't recall the specific numbers, but went something like this:

percentage of americans who believe that aliens from outspace "definitely have" or "might have" walked among us in disguise: 17

percentage of americans who believe that they will get back "all" or "most of" the money they contribute to Social Security: 11


Thing is, I can't say space aliens "definitely have not" walked among us, I mean, who know, right? I don't believe they have, but sure, I guess I would say they "might have." And Social Security money? eh. who knows?
