Sun rises in east

Joseph Perkins solidifies his claim on the title of Dumbest Columnist in America with this piece, which ran in The Gazette this week. The columnist begins with the thesis that, contrary to the conventional wisdom that Americans are almost evenly divided in party allegiance, Republicans are much stronger than Democrats. Then he bumps into this fact: a Gallup poll finds that 45.5 percent of Americans lean Republican; 45.2 percent lean Democrat.

Gee, sounds pretty close to me.

So he abruptly changes his thesis. What's important, he says, is that Republicans have been gaining ground. Experts have overlooked that fact, and the mainstream media have ignored it, he says.

Amazing. Republicans have been picking up governorships, House and Senate seats and control of state legislatures all over the country, and IT HASN'T BEEN REPORTED! Thanks God that Perkins let us in on the secret.
