I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I didn't run into anyone who was openly horrified by our current GOP-controlled government's spendaholic ways and enthusiastic "nation building," since they're more likely to be found sitting at home cursing the TV than attending some dumbass "rally. ``I ain't no dumbass n----- out here,'' Wallace said.
