0:34 Frederic Mishkin is NOT a smart person. He accepted $124,000 to write a paper praising the stability of Iceland's banking system a year before it collapsed, and as Fed governor he oversaw the 2008 U.S. financial crisis. Youtube his interview for the film Inside Job and you will have no respect for this man.
@cromicus - He made $124,000 on a lie and you call him STUPID? No respect due him, okay, Immoral, okay. But he's 124K riher, and you and I are not. (Well,I'm not, anyway. I don't know anything about you.) By the way, just in case, I'm only kidding.
The Onion has made me think of shows they should do.
Like one I just thought of is that Cell Phone companies are now hiring people to get with their single customers and text and call them hundred of times a day, raising their bills through the roof. Congress has agreed to allow this because it reduces our unemployment.
Has this show sold out or what. i hate these videos where they just throw out stupid headlines and save the funny shit for tv, tv that most other country's cannnot see.
Why the fuck is that afro wearing moron in there with the "smart" people? Is that part of the joke? They should put a clown in there too. Oh wait, they ALREADY DID. Not smart enough to know how to buy a comb apparently.
hell, put a pic of laura, my cube "mate" on a pack of smokes and 90% of people would stop smoking! 5'7" and 300+ pounds of lard takes a smoke break every hour! trish would almost get me dating again!

Republicans have systematically glorified ignorance and attacked education at all levels, because only the rich and the stupid support neo-con policies.
0:20 i've often wondered about why the average level of intelligence in politcs and fraction of real scientists in office seems to be lower than the average college-educated population.
It is also my belief that if 1/3 of politicians were requred to have a natural and/or computer science degree, the world would be a better place. Perhaps also engineers?
@davidls11 an unfortunate but mostly true observation. An exception is germany, who has their equivalent of prime minister, Angela Merkel, who has a phd in quantum chemistry and worked as a published researcher in that field for a few years.
I've also noticed smart people going into local politics when there is bad leadership and no real alternative other than them. This is somewhat what happened to me this fall in the student democracy of my college.
@flamingibanez Nah, we bully the shit out of our smart people. Call em nerds, shove em in lockers, give out swirlies.. Eventually they kill themselves rather then deal with the daily torture. Remember, being smart is for loosers who cant play sports.
Oh fuck, I forgot England is a shining example of how to not fuck everything up. I should have realized sooner that the global economic crisis was caused by and in fact only exists in the United States.
@flamingibanez I don't know- Jay Vacanti and Robert Langer ain't half bad- considering their tech could eventually replace diseased organs with gene therapied healthy organs of the same DNA. Kywds: Artificial Organ Regrowth - NOVA scienceNOW....
Ayn Rand would be smiling -- if she believed in an afterlife; the Onion agrees that smart people need to fix everything. And the parenting story is pure brilliance. Usually there's a thin line between satire and the truth; in those two cases there's NO line.
