information pack rat 

A person who collects books, newspapers, articles, journals, ebooks, webpages, magazines or any medium of information but has never read them or does not plan to read them in the future. Just collects all kinds of information which will eventually clutter up his/her bookshelf, filing cabinet, drawer, chest, binder, hard-drive, floppy disk, cd, house etc.

Similar to an info junkie who collects all kind of information, but unlike an info junkie who uses the information, an information pack rat accomplishes nothing.

A person who takes out 10 library books at a time and reads none of them is kind of like an information pack rat except he/she does not get to keep the books.
Man! I have so many books on diverse subjects like philosophy , mathematics, cooking, rock n' roll history and politics and I've never finished reading either of them. Now I'm out $500 for buying these books and know nothing new. I'm such an information pack rat

Low Information Voter 

People who vote knowing little to nothing about the actual candidates as people; instead going by what they've heard in propaganda, who makes eloquent speeches, voting straight by party line, voting for candidates from whom they believe will give them special benefits, or who celebrities say to vote for.
Someone: I'm voting for who will pay my mortgage and get me a Obamaphone and Obamacard!

Someone: He gives such good speeches! Change we can believe in!

Someone else: I will be voting for the other candidate because I believe in more freedom, liberty and self-reliance. It must be embarrassing to always live off the taxpayer teet like you do. Maybe you're a low information voter...

Bob's Your information Minister 

A homer fan who frequents a rival sports team's fan site (e.g. orangemane.com), and who:
1. Spreads optimistic lies about his own team even though the obvious evidence of massive failure has been cascading down around him and his team for decades;
2. Lives in his mother's basement (even though she lives in a trailer),
3. Has never held a steady job, unless you count buying and selling Star Wars memorabilia on eBay a steady job,
4. Has never, ever kissed a girl he isn't related to and likely never will.
You're moving to Kansas City? Dude, there nothing more pathetic than that. That's totally Bob's Your Information Minister.
