These things are awfully eery. My daily horoscope from iGoogle:

“You may feel more withdrawn because you don’t want to waste energy on anything that’s not essential now. Others could see you as impractical, but this isn’t really the truth. It’s just that you aren’t sharing everything, so they don’t know what’s going on inside your head. Don’t worry about what anyone else is thinking. Take care of what you must and get on with what’s most important to you.”

As if the whole Miss Teen South Carolina debacle wasn’t bad enough - have you seen country singer Kellie Dawn Pickler on ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader’ ? When given the question “Budapest is the capital of what European country?” Pickler first stated that she thought Europe itself was a country. She then went on blathering about whether or not France is actually a country. In the end she decided to copy her 3rd grade counterparts answer (which was correct). Upon finding out that Budapest is the capital of Hungary Pickler responds with “Hungry? I’ve heard of Turkey before…”

What is with these people? It’s no wonder Europeans and pretty much everyone else outside the U.S. hates us. The majority of our people don’t take the time to stop and think about the outside world. I mean honestly, read a book or watch a movie - get some culture!

You can cringe at the clip of Pickler on “5th Grader” here if you dare.
