I missed one.
So I brain farted on the number of woman on the Supreme Court and flat out missed the Dow. So I rate myself at 10.5 out of 12. Actually, now that I think about it, I blame the mouse on my computer and rate myself at an 11.
Cheers, Mi3ke
two wrong brain fart on supreme court , flat blew most deaths.
I missed the oil question. Grr.
Missed three. (Oil consumption, filibustering and where the underpants bomber trained).
Given that I actually don’t watch and try not to read the news, that’s pretty good.
Or bad, depending on how you look at it.
I’m actually anti- the news and their over drama over working of “if it bleeds it leads”. Off and on lately I’ve been watching BBC World News (if I watch news at all) and find it much more calm and on the whole, balanced, than American news sources.
But I digress….
Missed 3. No excuses. I need to pay more attention.
