See how you do, elected officals, who took the quiz, scored less than 50%

That was cool.

I did ok, surprisingly.

ou answered 27 out of 33 correctly - 81.82 %
Two of them were completely bogus - two correct answers in the same
question. The one about the First Admendment (correct answer includes
due process) and the taxation question which is totally FUBAR - taxes
equals government spending also means zero debt and growth.

30 out of thirty two and IN FACT, I nailed it.

Morons.


Well, it's for sure you didn't beat Harry. Just keep that in mind.

And quit calling us morons. We can't all be civics majors.



Speaking of morons, Herring, which brand and grade of two cycle oil do
you mix in with the gas for your four stroke outboard? You were
wondering about that a few months ago.


You need to go back and read the posts, Harry. It wasn't I that suggested a
two stroke brand. The person who answered my post misunderstood the
question and recommended a two stroke oil.

Is reading one of your problem areas?


And how about that WD40? Spray it into your engine yet to winterize it?


Nope. But, a decent boating discussion ensued upon my presenting an auto
mechanic's recommendation. Didn't it?

How was the trip to the mirror today, Harry. Especially vile?
