Q: Who Is The Biggest Dumbo Of Them All? A: His Name Rhymes With Dreck

The dumbest sumbitch on Faux News has got to be Glenn Dreck. Jon Stewart, a college graduate (College of William & Mary), skewered Glenn Dreck this week. Dreck, admitted to Yale University in a non-traditional admissions track (thanks to Senator Joseph Lieberman) lasted for a single theology course, "Early Christology," before he dropped out. Like his forebears in the John Birch Society who argued that Dwight D. Eisenhower was a Communist traitor, Dreck demonizes Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson for being Progressives and Jon Stewart, a college graduate, has a field day mocking Dreck's stupidity. Dreck supposedly has written six books. How do you spell ghost writer? If this is a (fair & balanced) attack on nitwittedness, so be it.

In this blogger's childhood in a small mining town in the West, he would leave the cave on Saturday afternoons for the matinee at the LaFay Theater. Mr. and Mrs. Houser owned the theater and were known to us as Ol' Man and Ol' Lady Howser. Mr. Howser doubled as the elementary school principal. Ol' Man Howser had lost his left arm and had only a (superhuman, we believed) right arm. Woe to the schoolboy who got sent to the principal's office. Schoolyard rumor had it that Ol' Man Howser kept a length of rubber hose in his desk drawer and used it (with his superhuman right arm) to beat the misbehavor unmercifully. Every Saturday afternoon, one of the first features Ol' Man Howser would run would be a musical short with the lyrics and a bouncing ball on the screen. (Karaoke was still on the musical side hill, eating grapes, in postwar Japan.) Fearing a visit to Ol' Man Howser's office on Monday, we sang at the tops of our lungs as we followed the bouncing ball on the screen. If this is (fair & balanced) fear of rubber-hose beatings, so be it.
