Truth is Stranger than Fiction

"We have our job cut out for us."
~ Joe Madeira (director of Chicago's new museum of freedom) after receiving the survey results that revealed "more people could name the three “American Idol” judges than identify three First Amendment rights."

"Maybe this means we'll see a more uplifting campaign as a result. I mean, I would think you'd be very hard-pressed to say anything bad about a man who saved your life."
