10/12:450

10/12 but only 398 because I fell asleep at the keyboard while 30 points slipped away.

I hate it when that happens...

10/12 for 431.

The best I've ever done!

10/12 for 466. As usual there was a football question: I really HATE when that happens.

9/12 for 416 ... I wasn't paying any attention to sick celebrities.

10/12 like most of you guys. (I wasn't paying attention to sportsball peoples *or* sick celebrities.)

432 pardoned war criminals around the Mar-a-Lago dinner table.

8/12 for 372 Iranian apologies for U.S. being responsible for downing of aircraft

(what self-respecting critter would ever bite a beeb)

As we all look for time killing diversions, I thought it would be a good time to bring back the Slate News Quiz:

Slate news quiz for April 3rd, 2020

8/12 for 358 badly needed ventilators...

11/12 for 516 N95 masks.

Nobody’s gonna beat that score.

(Yes, I’ve done nothing all week except watch videos and obsessively refresh a half dozen favorite news sites on my phone. I did miss the social media question because except for Facebook I’m out of that loop entirely. Thanks Jim for resuscitating the thread. Get to work, Gob.)

8 out of 12 for 361 ventilators that friends in New York have told me Gov. Cuomo doesn't really need

7/12 for 328 sorry friends of Trump contacted by Kushner who told him that NY hospitals were short of supplies. I am grateful for those friends because how would we have known otherwise? Obviously that's another few thousand lives saved by Trump.

6/12 for a COVID-19 score of 254.

7/12 for 309 little anxious COVID-19 viruses sitting atop the next microphone that Trump is going to use to tell how many lives he has saved.

With so much of the news being taken over by the corona virus, I missed a lot of these stories. I managed a pathetic 5/12 and 219 more virus news stories. There were a couple I should have gotten right, but I clicked before I read all of the multiple guesses. All I seem to see is virus news, over and over.

6/12: 256

8/12 for 331 homeopathic zinc acetate lozenges.

We can only hope.
Of course, if he did take sick and die of COVID, he'd become a bigger martyr/president than Lincoln and JFK combined.

Only to the insanely stupid.

Please oh please let that smug motherfucker Jared Kushner get the worst case of covid ever. I don’t care if that makes me a terrible human being, I would crack open my bottle of Laphroaig to celebrate that event.

8/12 for 377 stimulus bucks that still haven’t shown up in my mailbox


Jim’s post disappeared, but I was ready to take the quiz. Here’s the link:
