    I missed the bomber one and the Dow Jones. I don't care about the first one, feel stupid about second.

    Supreme court one was pretty easy. Ya had to think about it a bit.

    Most of us know Sodomyer is in the SC. If she was the only female, a bigger deal would have been made about it instead of her ethnicity.

    These questions are easy. What's surprising is that the average is less than 6 correct. 2 correct is the highest percentile? sheesh!

    I got 12/12, but I guessed on one. I really couldn't remember if Ruth Bader Ginsberg had retired or not.

    3/12, but I'm really busy with my Tea Party stuff.

    Actually got all 12, and 99% of my news consumption is cf.net and Comedy Central at 10.

    Yeah, I said it.

    Come on... the guy doesn't marry until his 40's, his wife is Repub flack, kids are adopted, and every gay guy I know tells me their Gaydar went to 11 when he was testifying. Heck, I'm not gay, but even my Gaydar beeps looking at this picture...
