I came across this ad on Drudge Report and it cracked me up. I think even if you're a Democrat you might find this funny, but if you're Conservative you definitely will. It rather silly, though.

WARNING: Do Not Watch This Parody Unless You Can Spell Parody and Understand The Meaning of The Word and You Are Willing to Post Your Full Name And Address and Stand Tall And Be Counted As the Literate Minority. Disclaimer. We don't really know if it is your real name or not. But the Persons or Persons we may or may not be calling or claiming to be an idiot, who has been without understanding from his nativity, and whom the law, therefore, presumes never likely to attain any. Shelf. on Lun. 2.
2. It is an imbecility or sterility of mind, and not a perversion
of the understanding et al. Chit. Med. Jur. 345, 327, note s; 1 Russ. on
Cr. 6; Bac. Ab. h. t. A; Bro. Ab. h. t.; Co. Litt. 246, 247; 3 Mod.
44; 1 Vern. 16; 4 Rep. 126; 1 Bl. Com. 302. When a man cannot count
or number twenty, nor tell his father s or mother s name, nor how
old he is, having been frequently told of it, it is a fair
presumption that, he is devoid of understanding. F. N. B. 233. Vide
1 Dow, P. C. now series et al, 392; S. C. 3 Bligh, R. new series, 1.
Persons born deaf, dumb, and blind, are, presumed to be idiots, for
the senses being the only inlets of knowledge, and these, the most
important of them, being closed, all ideas and associations
belonging to them are totally excluded from their minds et al. Co. Litt.
42 Shelf. on Lun. 3. But this is a mere presumption, which, like
most others, may be rebutted; and doubtless a person born deaf,
dumb, and blind, who could be taught to read and write, would not
be considered an idiot et al. A remarkable instance of such an one may be
found in the person of Laura Bridgman, who has been taught how to
converse and even to write. This young woman was, in the year 1848,
at school at South Boston. Vide Locke on Human Understanding, B. 2
c. 11, 12, 13; Ayliffe s Pand. 234; 4 Com. Dig. 610; 8 Com.
Dig. 644.
3. Idiots are incapable of committing crimes, or entering into
contracts. They cannot of course make a will; but they may acquire
property by descent.

BK; I think you're response is funnier than my post. Thanks for the belly laughs. You're very witty.
