Hey there folks in Kansas, Missouri, Alabama and other flyover, middle states--are you still a Neanderthal with a tiny brain jammed into "a low, sloping forehead"? Former drug addict and now New York Times columnist David Carr seems to think so.

New York Times columnist David Carr responds to Bill Maher implying Alabama and Kansas are not the "smart states."

David Carr: "If it's Kansas, Missouri, no big deal. You know, that's the dance of the low-sloping foreheads. The middle places, right? [pause] Did I just say that aloud?"

Why, yes you did say that David Carr. Now tell us what you really think, what you really meant to say. No, on second thought, don't. Don't bother explaining, apologizing--you and Maher & Company belong together, all alone in your "smart state;" the rest of us are even smarter and can understand very well what you said aloud, what you really believe.

Your high forehead encasing nothing inside.
