O'Quiz!!!!
Remembered to link to the O'Quiz this week. It's a toughie -- I reverted to form, and scored a incompetent 6 out of 10. I'd feel worse if the average score were not 5.18. Take the Quiz, and post your score, for better or worse, in the comments. And if you do even worse than me, do me the courtesy of admitting it. I could use the ego boost.

7 out of 10, If I knew any liberal talk show hosts, I would have scored 8.
The only reason I got No. 1 right was Sanford had a WSJ op-ed a few weeks ago, saying thanks, but no thanks to the stimulus money. Bobby Jindal co-authored it. I think Sanford is gearing up for 2012 and
for good reason. He also tamed the Democratic South Carolina legislature and has a Wall Street background.

6/10
Named a medical scholarship after A-Rod should have been the right answer to number 9.
I noticed the correct answer to number 5 was listed as Britain rather than Great Britain, should I read something into that?

3/10.
However, I mark only those where I definitely know the answer.

It would have been 9 if I had not changed Barney Frank to Franklin Raines. ;-)

9/10. I should have known that being a drug fueled sports fraud would not outweigh a monetary donation. I guess I'm still too idealistic in some ethical instances. Disappointing at least.

Given that I normally do not do particularly well, because you have to follow the news of the week pretty closely, this score shows how well it all sank in! Finally. As a baseball fan the Arod news wasn't particularly hard, but I have no excuse or explanation for why the Westminster kennel club news stuck in my brain.

7/10. If I had gone with my first hunch/guess on a couple of them, I would have had 8/10. Oh well.

Tiger,
Read this and weep.
I got 9 of 10, but I am retired and am also an absolute internet and news junkie.
I had the 9 cold, but missed the one on China and the cars. Don't you just love how Barney Blowhard has gotten a complete pass?

I can see that my butt has been well and truly kicked by many of you. I obviously do not spend enough time aimlessly surfing around or simply reloading Drudge.
