What do the Hoopleheads read?

When you meet a Hooplehead, and have a conversation almost inevitably you walk away wondering where did they get that idea? A Hooplehead is special, they read and digest what supports a very special fantasy. Hoopleheads are often a special kind of idiot savant, more idiot than savant. You can master a lot of trades and be dumb as the brick you are laying. Kadizzle has often puzzled how a person can be such a good mechanic, an airline pilot, or a surgeon, yet be totally unaware of the world. Kadizzle remembers long ago two doctors trying to figure out if the engine on their boat was charging. It was a very simple logical process yet they were baffled. It turns out some people have an excellent memory, but don't have an ounce of logic. 

My older sister was a classic case. Louise was first in her class in law school. One day she was driving along a busy highway in a congested part of the city with my little sister Patty. The car got a flat tire. Patty said pull over to the side of the road. Louise said " the sign says emergencies only".  Patty said " This is an emergency".  That is how the mind of a Hooplehead works. Louise was certainly no Hooplehead, but she knew the thought process. A normal person would quickly see through Donald Trump, but the Hooplehead cannot figure out he is nuts. Why is Donald always scamming for money if he is a billionaire? A simple logical question Hoopleheads don't ask. Asking logical questions is the basis of knowledge.
