Today's Quiz

 missed # 27, and #29
Supposedly 96% of all High School
Seniors FAILED this test... AND if that's not bad enough,
50+% of all individuals over 50 did too!!
Take the test and be surprised at what we don't know. - Merrily


 93% ain't bad, except I bet myself a billion dollars I'd ace it.  So, on the one hand I'm now rich, but the other hand took it all so .. . wait!  JFC.  Either way I'm a freaking billionaire!!   Them's Adam Smith's fabled "invisible hands" at work.. Must be.  Now where the hell did I put all that money?!?

I got 93% as well. The average score in my age group is 67%.

So, I missed 4. eh..

Missed 3. Forgot how many Amendments there are and what the one was lower the voting age to 18. And I had no clue where Eisenhower was born...

I got the # of the amendment for the minimum voting age wrong (past the bill of rights, I never bothered drilling into my head what order the amendments came in) and the number impeached (I had forgotten that the articles of impeachment against Nixon had never been voted upon, and thought it was 3. Three was not an option, which confused me, so I assumed they meant 'and convicted\removed from office' and clicked none. *sigh*)

30 out of 30. The quiz suggested I should run for President...Hmmm, President Sgsaur...the first President with a concealed carry permit, more guns than the secret service, enough stones to bomb our enemies (foreign & domestic) back to the stone age...

My platform is simple - get rid of the IRS and go with a flat-rate tax of 15% on corporate earnings and 10% on personal earnings over $250,000.00. Dump the ATF, the Departments of Energy, Education and any other Departments that are useless, and de-fund & send the UN packing. Arrest, convict & hang traitors, whether they're spies, Senators, Congressmen, Judges, Hollywood types or Former Generals.

Think I'd get any votes???

Any votes? If you could get the nomination, you'd win. Assuming you don't sound like Elmer Fudd, of course.

Sgsaur/Schlong 2012!!
I don't know my amendments :-(

I didn't know how many un-ratified amendments there were. Sgsaur/Schlong 2010!

24/30 = 80% but the ones I missed were historical stuff. Never have been good at history.

3 incorrect answers. Not bad for someone raised overseas since he was 2, survived a communist dictatorship, several corrupt regimes and 3 military coups, and who came back just 9 years ago. Trust me, I know how it smells, I know how it looks, I know how it sounds. Something's cooking. Lets not allow it.

SFAOV Sgsaur - I'd be proud to nominate you, second your nomination and vote more than once for you if you'd care to run.
All i ask is to be King for a Week on your transition team to tie up some loose ends for you.

Also 28/30. Could not remember when the last ammendment was ratified, and flat-out brain farted on the Patrick Henry quote. Stupid mistake, I knew better.

26/30 should have been 28/30, but did not take the time to read all the questions properly. (was getting a tad too cocky) Ahhh well, still good enough to run for the Congress or Senate!

Missed two.
I guess good.

I got all thirty correct.

Run for president? You bet! Our country needs another redhead (Jefferson), a president with the gumption to have facial hair (lots!), and it sure as hell can use a good human grizzly like me.

I'm kindly, loving, and gentle like a real bear, but bring me something to sign that is not Constitutional and you'll find me on my hind legs swinging my paws and growling to beat all.

And of course I'd support Sgsauer's platform, and add to it.

My daughter asked me last night what I'd do to secure the borders. I told her that the border patrol would be a good place to put all the displaced IRS, ATF, DOE, DOEd, etc. types when their jobs went away. Hell, there'd be enough of them to form a 24-hr human sheild from the Pacific to the Gulf...

She also asked about Cabinet appointments...

Sec. State & White House Spokesman - Kim du Toit
Sec. Def. - Lt Col. Gen. Tailgunner Dick
Secretaries of Pissing-off Libs - Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh
Attorney General - William Shatner as Denny Crane

29/30 here Boss.

Blew the question on proposed but not ratified amendments.

grumble ...

Kim said...

Bah. As I hate almost all the amendments past the 13th, it's not surprising that I got the three wrong which had to do with post-13th minutiae.

1992 we ratified an amendment? Who knew? We were too busy trying to stop Clinton being elected.

Those people who are not aligned to a political party SHOULD have a day of their own.....Has a nice ring to it "Independents Day".
