Proof that "reads a lot" is not the same thing as "smart":
The most literate city is, Washington, according to a survey released Monday by Central Connecticut State University, followed by Seattle and Minneapolis.
The study, which has been conducted annually for eight years by Jack Miller, president of CCSU, includes only cities with populations greater than 250,000.
With all that reading going on, no wonder nobody in Washington has the time to look at the bills Congress drafts. The study looks at six items: newspapers, magazines, libraries, Internet use, education levels and bookstores. Newspaper reading showed the biggest decline in the study. No big shock.
