  • Good job ssinca! That's better than most Americans!

    I got 7/12 Embarrassed I did the same thing, kinda. I selected and answer, thinking I had no idea and needed to guess... but as soon as I clicked Next, I realized that the answer I'd used was stupid! However.... I'd probably have gotten it wrong anyways.

    8/12  but that's because all my current event news comes from the Daily Show! Smile
  • 10/12... I got the first one wrong.  I could have sworn I read something about the unemployment rate at 19% recently.  But I guess that does seem rather high.  Also, I almost picked Yemen for the Christmas Day bomber but that was the question I was the least sure about.

  • Haha, I laughed at the Stephen Colbert question! YES I got that one right.

    I missed ... The Yemen one. WTH? I don't even remember that. Embarrassed

    I also missed the unemployment one! I was POSITIVE it was 13.5%. Where the heck did I get that?

    I also didn't know there were more fatalities in Afghanistan.

    And I couldn't name the chairperson of the Republican National Committee.

    ... Or how many senators it took for a filabuster. I thought it was 67.

    And .... I got it right, but I'll fess up to not being positive about the US Senate Majority Leader. I had a feeling, which turned out to be right, but wasn't positive.

  • 11/12! I was impressed by it myself!!! It's gotta be the NPR wake up call!!
