There was once sentence about Jason McCartney that I found really dumb,

"The 28-year-old McCartney grew up in Iowa, but he has yet to win a major
European race."

I don't know what effect growing up in Iowa has on your chances of being a
European stud.

It didn't hold James T Kirk back. Don't worry about it.

Euro race."

Not trying to be funny. It didn't make any sense to me and it was an AP
story. An editor must have reviewed the story before it was released and I
was wondering what I was missing.

Dumbass -

"Illiterate" is not an apt description of it. I'd go with
"nonsensical".

The only thing you're missing is an understanding of just how dreadful most
