I got 29 out of 30 right (but 3 were lucky guesses) (0.00 / 0)


29 out of 30 is pretty good. I wrote the quiz and probably would have (0.00 / 0)
answered only 27 or 28 correctly (those Strayhorn quotes are the tricky ones because she's been all over the map).

Could someone make a Flash movie out of this? (0.00 / 0)
It would be a great little pop-up game for any progressive site, and if you got instant answers with feedback educational bits, it would go a long way to get people to think about it. 

There are also quiz-builder sites, but I've never played with those. 

Great Quiz!

Disclosure: Former Political Director for Lee Leffingwell for Mayor of Austin ('09)


yes! (0.00 / 0)
someone needs to either flash this or make it into a short youtube movie.

i'd love to upload it on my site.

well done, BOR!

i got 28 BTW.

Well done... (0.00 / 0)
...to stopkinky.

Now, a very great man once said that some people rob you with a fountain pen.

[ Parent ]
yes yes (0.00 / 0)
sorry about that stopkinky!

now where's my flash movie???

Fudd's first law of opposition: Push something hard enough and it will fall over.


[ Parent ]
I welcome anyone who wants to re-format this to please do so. (0.00 / 0)
I wouldn't possibly know how to make a quiz or game or youtube video with this, but I'd love to see someone who knows how to do that give it a try.

I'd really like to get these quotes to a wider audience in advance of Friday's debate.

Never have I known of an election where the facts weighed so heavily in favor of one result while the electorate remained largely unaware of those key facts.


[ Parent ]
11 Kinky Quotes? (0.00 / 0)
Do we really need 11 Kinky quotes?  And only 4 Perry quotes?  This seems a little lopsided for a four candidate race. 

I missed nearly every Strayhorn quote.  I'm just not paying attention to her.  On the others I did fine.


Fewer Perry quotes because most people know where Perry stands (0.00 / 0)
on many issues.
