If power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and ignorance is bliss and absolute ignorance is nirvana, where does that put Cain, Gingrich, Bachmann, Paul, Perry, and Santorum?

I was going to go for Idiocracy, which also came out in 2006, but I'm not about to watch the entire movie again just for one post. But you probably heard it at least as far back as 2006.

It's like Cain doesn't have a single person on his campaign team who has touched the Internet in five years. (The earliest instance of the phrase I can find is from 2006. That blog claims that a 2002 interview with French researcher Alain Bentolila claims that kids offered up "Reading is for (bundles of stick)s" (in French!) as an explanation of why they weren't interested in reading, but the interview's no longer hosted. May or may not have been the source of the quote behind the Americanized version of the meme.)
