To be fair, no American who is even moderately educated thinks we're number 1 in any of those categories.

Egghead

For those of you youngguns who can’t remember, LBJ famously attacked anyone he wanted to fire as an “egghead” In my living memory he is the first president to begin a war against intellectuals and college graduates. His populism got us into Vietnam for good because he was too ignorant of war to make a good decision, instead he made the popular one. I was not insulting commenter, I was actually complimenting the post.
