As did I, but their answer for the unemployment question is completely wrong. It is higher than what they say it is.

I got 9 out of 11.. Screwed up Medicare and the Obese question.. Not too bad I guess. Nailed the politcal stuff!

well, it asks what number was closest, last I heard the real number reported was around 9.3 or 9.4, so....
I dont think the "official" numbers take into account those that have stopped looking and those that just dont work.....

And yes, total u-16 is closer to %16 unemployed.

Well, I got 10 out of 11. I missed number 5, too (the one about where the government owes the most money).

Holy <deleted>. I got 11 out of 11. I think I'd better start watching FOX News so I can bring my score down to a more normal level.

Just keep reading HuffPo, it's bound to have the desired effect.

I got 3 out of 11. Apparently I'm severely ignorant.

That implies that I read the Huffington Post. I gave up on that poor excuse for a cyber fish-wrapper ages ago. Likewise MSNBC. I dumped them before Keith Olbermann did. Here's a hint, Corporate Overlords Who Run MSNBC; two hours of Chris Matthews is bad enough, but Ed Schultz was the final straw. If I wanted to listen to a big, fat moron spout a bunch of partisan rhetoric, I would watch Sean Hannity. And any network that writes checks to Joe Scarborough and Mark Halperin is clearly intent on lowering the collective IQ of it's audience.
