I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Phew! I was afraid to try that quiz because of fear of failure. Instead I got only two questions wrong for a 91st percentile score. Sadly the questions I missed were computer ones - the Google Glass and Yahoo CEO one.

Meanwhile I am enjoying watching the never ending story ofToronto's mayor. Yesterday CNN did a thing about him and didn't know that Ottawa is the capital of Canada while Toronto is the capital of Ontario (or maybe they didn't know that we have provinces and Ontario is one of them).

Our Prime Minister is named Stephen Harper. He is a Conservative. I am not. 'Nuff said on him.

All correct and middle-class.

Pip, at least there is entertainment value.

96% but don't know which one I got wrong.

Gotta go take the other test.

LOVE the brussel sprouts recipe - seriously, funny to read, but bet it's GOOD. The 5 rules are a stitch.

ETA: the Tundra Tart having an opinion about the Pope is the best example of chutzpah I've seen in a l-o-n-g time!

I'm also liking Snowdrift Snookie!

I love quizzes. 96% - missed the Dow, but didn't have to guess about any of the others. And bourgeoise.

Back from Cancun - survived another airplane ride. Six takeoffs and landings in a month. I think I have used up my terror points for the rest of the year. And all six of the flights were perfectly fine and normal. I think I need to try hypnosis to get over this increasing terror of flying. There are a lot of places I still want to go!

For those who may be interested. I have participated in calls like this with the Governor of Arkansas. You speak your question or comment into the phone and your call is put in a "Q". You can listen to other people's questions and the answers. There can a significant delay before you hear your question depending on the number of people who sign up. Of course all calls are screened and some may be ignored if they are disrespectful or use inappropriate language.

Jackie -- When I was a little girl, and criticizing some other little girl in my class for her behaviour, my mother told me that what I find bothersome (to use a kind word) in others is very often what I'm guilty of, myself.

That never stopped me from being critical of others (more's the pity!) but I have noticed the verity of her words: whenever a GOTPer makes false claims against liberals, progressives etc., it's always the very thing of which they themselves are guilty. Some people call it projection. I think it's a "learned" strategy, carefully taught by the same folks (Frank Luntz?) who provide their daily talking points. Accuse the other guy of something FIRST, which takes the pressure off the accuser. It's sick, but it's politics, and it's turning so many people off. "You can't trust any of them" becomes the meme, resulting in abysmally poor voter turnout -- which, of course, is exactly what the accusers want. <sigh>

Single Payer voter here. And I still blame Max Baucus for making sure we didn't get it when Obama wanted it in 2008.

Love the names for the Alaska arse - my favorite is still her having the gubmint pay for her tanning bed when she moved into the gubmint house.

C4C - your mom was a true Buddha. Wise. Wise. Wise. One of the basic teachings of HH the Dalai Lama.
