I spoke with a 16-year-old the other day, just as she and her family were about to hit the road for a 15-hour trip. Asking her what she brought to read, she informed me that she had her iPod. I was surprised at this. Common though it may be, it is not the type of habit to encourage!

Doing my part to encourage future citizens and leaders to think, I plan a pop quiz for my classes today. Six questions:
1. Who is the President?
2. Who is the Vice President?
3. Who is the Secretary of State?
4. Who is your congressman?
5. Who are your two senators?
6. To which news source (print or online) do you plan to subscribe, and why?

I'll let you guys know the results next week.

7. (Extra Credit) How many days remain until the start of the college hockey season?
Click to expand...

1. PBO
2. VPJB
3. SoSHC
4. John Klein
5. The Busty Amy Kloubachar and Stuart Smalley
6. Why subscribe when you can get it for free? ...milk and cows, you know. ;)

7. 24, depending upon your school.

How did I do? :)

Assuming you're district is MN-2, you did very well, except you only get partial credit for #5: Klobuchar is not that busty.

St. Clown got it totally wrong:

1. Pa RFAlph Baer
2. Queen Scarlet
3. Giada de Laurentiis
4. Frederick J. Meyer IV
5. The Honorable Deep Fried Bacon and the Honorable Ice Cold Beer
6. USCHO Newsbot
7. Too darn many.

:D

Good morning, Lodge. Woke up early for some reason, but it's a beauty day outside (though a bit chilly - nothing wrong with that.)

Oh, and the true answers to the quiz for MN-5:
1. Obama
2. Biden
3. H. Clinton
4. Bachmann
5. Klobuchar and Franken
6. I listen to MPR news and otherwise read the Pioneer Press or the Star Tribune when I see them.
7. Ours already started August 13 against Kaufbaren. ;)

Though I'm an avid reader, I wouldn't be able to read on a road trip unless it was in a bus. I get all kinds of carsick if I read in a car.

That is not a valid excuse!
I hear that every day and I dismiss it.

(That's a movie quote all who were teens in the 80s ought to know.)

4 and 5 are trick questions for those of us in 202land. :D
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 120: How do you want to die?

Morning Lodge.

Why do I care who who the politicians are? They're all useless ****ing dumb****s, and I hate them all.

In defense of the girl with the iPod, I actually have books on mine.

1. Barack Obama
2. Joe Biden
3. Hillary R. Clinton
4. Dave Camp (Michigan 4th district, as I'm still registered through my hometown and not up here. The congressman for the area in which I live is Bart Stupak.)
5. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow
6. I do not subscribe to a print paper, but I watch the evening news (both local and national) nightly during the week.
7. 24 days!

Just because I don't like or agree with them doesn't mean I don't know who they are...
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 120: How do you want to die?

For grins (to WTW's questions):
Obama, Biden, Jesse White... Oh, you meant Secretary of State nationally, not just for Illinois ;) Hillary Clinton, don't know, Burris and Durbin, and Newsweek and NPR (already read 'em regularly), 24 days.

****, I know more about Illinois politics than I thought (Burris and Durbin came to mind quicker than Stabenow and Levin!)

lol.

Everytime I think of senators, I remember how my US history teacher said Mikulski (Senator from Maryland) looked like a pug and then he made growling/barking noises.

Edit: I got a great edumacation in Cow County, MD

I know who they are, I just prefer not to think about the failures that are our elected officials. Sorta like how even though I'm in Minnesota, I pretend like the basketball team and Gopher football doesn't exist. A certain level of incompetence is just too much. This is also why I no longer care about how ****ty Tech is, I just go on road trips to drink and make fun of people that are still emotionally invested.
