But can Oklahoma students name the star of The Rockford Files or the frontman of The Flaming Lips?  Probably not... though I bet they know who Barry Switzer and Bob Stoops are.

I agree with you, buffcoat. People are getting dumber. How could you not know that Ben Franklin was the first President?

Since we can sacrifice our pets' dignity for the sake of a good joke, then all is not lost.

Nothing has changed. 50 years ago, very few people would have known Obama's first name either.
