1. It's the spelling
It's spelled "moron" not "moran"

3. Yeah I know
And I corrected someone and got yelled at. Was it famously spelled wrong by a repug or something?

8. Actually, it was "Get a brain, morans!"
The singular brain for plural morans added to the delight. As did the little sign in the corner that read, "Go USA!"

I'll see if I can find a linky. I'm cracking up just thinking about it again. It's sort of our DU mascot.

5. It was a Right Wing Pro War "Patriot's"
protest sign that got depicted back when "prowar" was all the rage.

I'm sure the pic is still available somewhere on the net.
