There are a lot of dumb and ignorant people out there, and I’m not even thinking about any politician or talk-show host.
I am referring to the dunderhead who denied Hall of Famer and retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page a blue check mark next to his name on Twitter.
A blue check mark, according to Twitter, is considered a blue Verified badge that “lets people know that an account of public interest is authentic. To receive the blue badge, your account must be authentic, notable, and active.”
Page applied for the blue mark and, like most everyone but maybe the dimwit who gave him the Twitter version of the Heisman, he must have figured he would be a slam dunk.
