I sometimes wonder if we’ve gotten so stupid that we really don’t understand that life isn’t “Steel” or “24.” Wall Street Journal opinion editor and first class moron Stephen Moore was on Bill Maher’s show last week and actually said that federal policy should be based on what Jack Bauer does on “24”
