Ask Dr. Ding

Dear Dr. Ding:

What is your opinion on Bush’s presidency?

Sincerely,

An Enquiring Mind

Dear Enquiring:

I have it on good authority (a friend of mine who is a neuropsychologist) that his Full Scale IQ estimate is approximately 91. This would place him only at the low end of the Average range of intellectual functioning.

Our nation is being led by a man who probably is far more suited for something slightly less mentally taxing, say, working at a tanning salon or perhaps grouting tile. Something less abstract, complex and varied, something more concrete, simple, and routinized.

Just because a chimpanzee can make pancakes doesn’t mean that it should.
