O'Quiz!!!!
It has been ages since I remembered to post the O'Quiz. This week's quiz is particularly challenging, with an average correct score of only 2.53 (as of this writing) out of ten. (Your blogger scored an almost miraculously high 7 out of ten, probably because he spent most of Saturday in a Lay-Z-Boy nursing a fever and reading stupid stuff online.)
Post your own score in the comments. If, that is, you are not too ashamed.

6 out of 10, mostly on guesses. I should be ashamed, but sadly, I can't be too worried. Americans over 65 view what's 'is name more positively? Guess the youngest of the are the leading edge of the boomers. Still crazy after all these years? I think illegal aliens is a much better guess!

Like you, 7 out of 10. I'm in good company! :)

Swiftone: I agree illegal aliens would have been a much better guess, though I sensed it might have been a trick. :)

Made one stupid mistake (I know full well Havel was a playwright but I mistakenly answered poet too quickly), and was wrong on two guesses (Blair and the one Demographic where the President has improved his polling since his election). Pretty good quiz, I guess.

That's the best O'quiz score I've ever gotten - and due to a couple of lucky guesses. I missed the one about which group Obama polls higher with now than in 2008.

Maybe the low average is a positive sign that people are starting to get lives!

6 out of 10 - not bad for a cultural illiterate. O'Reilly's bar must be pretty low.

My second guesses on two questions (no spoilers!) that I talked myself out of were correct.

P.S. I did get one correct by a total guess about Romney's father (although with a little reasoning behind it too).

Behold my 9 of 10 and tremble.
OMG, my best score ever. Guesses on Stern, Alberta and idiots over 65.

I missed the Over 65 answer; I thought the old geezers were smater than that.
Thank you for your playing the O'Quiz!
You answered 8 of 10 correctly.
Missed Hitchens (know nothing about him) and that Seniors like Obama more now (which makes NO sense)
8/10 which goes to show that I spend way too much time reading on the net
