so, how many out of 11 did you guys get right? I know they were all pretty easy but I missed two.
I missed the soccer question, I hate soccer.
all real americans missed the soccer question. what other question did you miss?
i got all 11.
I got 10 of 11, only because I mistook "Twitter" the website for "Twytter," the heavy metal Byrds tribute band.
all real americans missed the soccer question. what other question did you miss?well thanks for that... I'm pretty embarrassed about missing one of the others... should have got the 10 besides the soccer question.
I think it was the PM of Gr britain one...
the real pm is billy idol.
I picked tony hayward at first. maybe all the recent BP news mixed me up...
"You got all 11 questions right, along with 5% of the public."
That seems really sad...only 5% of this country is paying attention.
nobody needs to pay attention to soccer... or great britain...
Got them all right, and thought the quiz was pretty easy, but I don't know if the location of this year's World Cup or the approximate depth of the Gulf of Mexico is necessarily an accurate measure of one's political awareness. That such a high percentage of people who've taken the quiz have gotten between 4-6 answers correct is more alarming to me than the fact so few have gotten all eleven.
I think the World Cup and Twitter questions were more for comparison's sake, an easy news headline generator (for example "3 Times as many Americans know where the World Cup was held vs. who the Chief Justice of the SC is").
And I know, that's a terrible headline, but I'm not a journalist.
how is asking what the depth of ocean where the rigs are a relevant question?
the capping degree of difficulty.
depth of the Deepwater Horizon isn't political, it's more "current events".
UK is a primary US ally and only partner in crime of invading Iraq for oil. Not asking too much to know who their PM is.

Holy , only 34% of people know Bush and his cronies are the ones who crafted and signed TARP into law?
"only 34% of people know Bush and his cronies are the ones who crafted and signed TARP into law"
VRWC is best at spewing lies and slander and paranoia, admitting fault for nothing, and blaming all non-RWingers for everything. sheeple, rabble, bubbas, etc believe them.
More likely, the USA is really dumb, fat, and blind, esp about politics and current affairs. Jay Walking is both hilarious and sad.
No . I missed the Soccer question only, and was above 87% the population.
Maybe you often do the same here with facts?
Maybe because there was a second bailout that got more attention.
"Maybe because there was a second bailout that got more attention."
The Wall St bailout was Wall St/Repug Treasurer Paulsen extortion, "here's my 3 pages, give me $700B, give it to me within 7 days, and make me out of reach of Congress and courts, OR ELSE!"
no "maybe" about it, I repeat:
"VRWC is best at spewing lies and slander and paranoia, admitting fault for nothing, and blaming all non-RWingers for everything. sheeple, rabble, bubbas, etc believe them."
only a dumbass would think it got more attention.
so much for being a 99%er.
It depends on which of the hundreds of media outlets you pay attention to. Since you read the Huntington Post, Democrats Underground, Common Dreams, etc. I suspect you heard very little about TARP II.
