America, despite being the greatest innovator in human history, a technological juggernaut, and having the best universities, is universally understood to be a stupid nation.

The UFC extravaganza at the White House was not a celebration of a sport, it was a celebration of slop. We have always been a violent country, but have we always been such a shameless one?
