Even the president is sick of hearing the PResident's joke about how Kerry voted for the war before he voted against it. Of course, the red side of the campaign is still chanting "flip flop" at every chance.

Most truthful answers from a politician are more complicated that "yes" or "no," because most issues are not black and white. But, this is a problem for Kerry, because most Americans don't have the patience for nuanced answers or complicated explanations for complicated problems. Most of us want it dumbed down. We save our heavy lifting thinking for shopping.

Among the nations of the world, we are the idiot with ADD.

The idiot with ADD is not only dumb but also has attention deficet disorder ("ADD") -- meaning he has no patience or attention span. So, the only information he can really absorb is stuff that's (1) dumbed-down and (2) very bite-size.

Trying to draw a connection in characteristics between the USA, a young nation, and rebellious youth. Also including a reference to our militarism.
