Simpsons scene comes to life in Davenport, Iowa - grooveless touque - 08-04-2004

So now we have the answer the the legendary question: life imitates art.

In an episode of The Simpsons, a town hall meeting is held and Marge looks around and says "Wow! I think every person in town came out!" The show then shows Snake and a bunch of other hoodlums robbing houses with alarms going off and they don't care because nobody's around. Snake says "Could the people in this town BE any stupider?!"

Today both John Kerry and Bush are in Davenport, Iowa giving campaign speeches stumping in this state that could go either way in the election. 90% of the Davenport Police (and the county cops) are assigned to cover security for both Kerry and Bush all day. This morning at 11:14 a bank was robbed in the city. At 11:28 another was robbed in the suburbs. Then, at 11:43, a third bank was robbed in the southwest...all right in the middle of campaign speeches by both candidates.

Could the people in that town BE any stupider? :lol:

I figured it was one of Kerry's people...it's the only way he could possibly raise the kind of money Bush gets at his massive fundraisers!
