Dunce Cap Award: Millie Weaver

"Dumb Dora is really dumb!"--Gene Rayburn, Match Game, many times in the 70's.

I've maintained that the writers on Match Game began using Dumb Dora for questions after getting static from Bill Cosby, creator of Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, since Dumb Donald was one of the supporting characters in that series.

Turns out that, to explain the bold italics above, there was a Dumb Dora comic strip in the 20's & 30's, originally drawn by Blondie creator Chic Young. Here's a sample:

In truth, Dora wasn't really that dumb after all, just street smart.

And that brings us to this week's Dunce Cap winner, Millie Weaver of Infowars. If you work for a conspiracy nut like Alex Jones, chances are you gave up your brains to get there, and Millie certainly did.

Y'see, Millie was arrested nearly a week ago for robbing---can we actually say scamming or swindling?---her own mother. And she live-streamed her own arrest!!

Naturally, the denizens of booby hatch country--other conspiracy theorists, that is---claimed she was a victim of the fictional "deep state". Truth is a foreign concept to these folks, let me tell you.

There's no conspiracy here, friends, and our Dunce Cap winner is whining to get sympathy. Ain't none to be had here.
