From AlterNet

The Triumph of Ignorance: or, How Morons Succeed in U.S. Politics :

"In the most powerful nation on Earth, 1 adult in 5 (20%) believes the sun revolves around the Earth; only 26 percent accept that evolution takes place by means of natural selection; two-thirds of young adults are unable to find Iraq on a map; two-thirds of U.S. voters cannot name the three branches of government; and the math skills of 15-year-olds in the United States are ranked 24th out of the 29 countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development."

Oh, yeah? Well we know how to spell 'organization'. So there.
