'What Does FDR Stand For?'

Not much...[polio joke self censored].

Every time I see one of those "man in the street" quizes, I wonder what the real success rate is. If 9 out of 10 people recognized the presidents it wouldn't make for interesting TV, so you edit it to focus on the ones who miss.

Success rate would be negligible. When many public school systems report a student failure rate exceeding 60%, you've got yourself a generation of mouth breathers. I can always stop a libtard in mid-rant by asking him some basic questions:
1. Who's your congressman?
2. Who are your state senators?
3. Who's your state governor?
4. Where's your state capital?
They never have an answer. Works every time. That's when I tell them, "You dare to lecture me on all things political, but you obviously don't know what you're talking about."

A few years ago, Sean Hannity sent out his girl reporter to do a man-in-the-street quiz as to what we celebrate on July 4. No one came even close to getting the right answer. The quiz was apparently conducted live and not edited. At the end, the reporter herself admitted that she really didn't know what the holiday was about and took a guess that it was to celebrate the conclusion of WWI.
