Hola Bill...what does Laredo, Texas have in common with other cities like Merced, Fresno, and Bakersfield? According to a new study, it's one of the least-brainiest (read: not that smart) cities in the nation. I'm forced to wonder about the Latino/a demographic in these cities, and which 'behind-the-measures' measures these pseudo-scientific pendejos who compile the list may be directly/indirectly applying. Check out the links: one, two, three.
