O'Quiz!
I finally made it to "the chili capital of the world," and repaired to the bar for the last quarter of Monday Night Football. I thought about writing a long and nuanced post about the just-released National Intelligence Estimate that reported that Iran gave up its weapons program in 2003, but decided instead to take the O'Quiz and hit the hay. Insofar as I scored a fairly wretched 5 out of 10, most of you will have no problem besting me.
Post your scores in the comments, even if they suck. Or especially.

9/10. Maybe Santa can get me a life as well.

9 out of 10. Personally, I think we should get a bonus point if we score 8 or better and didn't watch one minute of his show.
The only one that completely threw me was Kucinich's running mate. I knew it couldn't be Clinton or Lieberman, and nobody in his right mind would pick Ron Paul for anything, which left Alf and John Kerry. Tough call, especially because I'd read that Alf had been on O'Reilly's show, which would tend to indicate he was Kucinich's choice. To be brutally honest, though, he simply doesn't have the credentials, so I went with John Kerry, figuring Kucinich would be going after the all-important Ketchup Vote.
I also call 'Foul!' on the Don Imus question. I didn't read about his return, but the headlines all said he had some "black, Jewish" guy in the booth with him, of which James Carville is neither. I wuz mislead!
As far as writing about the NIE, Tige, I think your time would be better spent running down the 'Survival List' Chary posted last week. It'll be comforting to know you're okay when we lose NYC.
On the other hand, Princeton is only 50 miles away, so let's hope the prevailing winds are blowing out to sea when it happens.
Have a nice day. :)

Haven't been home on time to see his show in a month. Don't care about Imus. Ignore Kucinich.
7-10.

Never beat your opponent by a huge margin. 8 is enough to clobber TH (this week...) and live well too.

5 of 10. I’m average! Yes! I don’t pay attention to Imus or Kucinich either. It’s not worth the IQ lowering just to score higher on the Q-quiz
Amazing how all the MSM outlets believe that a country that purchased thousands of uranium centrifuges in a deep underground bunker, builds long-range missiles, is building a Pu capable reactor, and speaks daily about nuking Israel, cannot possibly be building a bomb because the US Intelligence System thinks they might not be.

By all means, do not miss the chance to try Cincy chili. Sky Line or Gold Star, they're both good.
Also, do your best to catch local talk show host Mike McConnell on 700WLW on the AM band.

I heard from the Clinton campaign that Barack Obama has been acing the O Quizzes since he was in kindergarten.
Me? I can only muster a 7.

I had a six. Worst score ever.
The far more interesting question is where the next NIE projects the Iranian bomb test will occur. NY? LA? DC?
Given eight years to do so, it's a mystery to me how the President has been unable to populate the upper rungs of the intelligence community with people who are not openly hostile to the country's safety and security. What's up with that?

7. But I actually knew all 7 of them. Guessed on 3- obviously poorly. Carville on Imus, huh?
