2007 is almost over, and a list of the top quotes of the year have come out.
1. The number one quote of the year is "Don't Tase Me, Bro". A college student yelled this out as he was being "roughly handled" by police during John Kerry's speech. I actually expected this because there have been so many incidences in which the police would just taser people. For those who haven't yet seen the clip, here it is.
2. Second place goes to Miss Lauren Upton for saying "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us," when asked why a fifth of Americans can't locate our country on a map. Of course, she apologized later, but the damage was already done.
