Jay Leno once asked people on San Antonio’s Riverwalk to name someone who fought in the Alamo. The jaw-dropping ignorance made us laugh and cringe (and some teachers cry). Most recently, a late-night crew asked individuals how they were voting AFTER the election. In other words, the folks were not aware that election day had passed. 02/05/2025 05:26 AM
