8/12 for 408 new violations of presidential norms by the orange parasite - just this week!

I’m off my game - I blame the oxy, and also, my brain became convinced by Brexit that the UK was no longer a European country!

Where is Darren when it comes to forum quiz time?

I bet he'd go 13 out of 12 if he jumped in.

9 /12 for 422 new lies in Fucker Carlson's nasty mouth.

Slate Weekly Quiz 3.10.23





PS - I thought it would be nice to resurrect the *original* Slate Quiz thread. It was just an added bonus that it gave me a moment this morning to think about our dearly departed Lord Jim and RayThom.

8 out of 12 for 344 drag queens terrorizing Republican adults (the kids don't give a damn).

I forgot this was a timed quiz and gave away a lot of points.

My bad, I went back and checked -- my score was only 428. (Molly had 394). Don't know if it's my failing eyesight or just the excitement of having actually "won" one of these quizzes.

9 out of 12 for 410 additional indictments hopefully forthcoming against Trump.

And I just managed to slide past the Slate staffer.

0 out of 12 for 0 minutes spent pondering news for the past week. (You'd think 1 or 2 just by accident)
