What a great quiz!!! I have to travel alllll day today to and from a Passover Seder tonight so I can’t play. I love these creative quizzes. #5 was my friend’s dad. What a tragedy.
Can’t wait til you make one about here, because I saw the district polls for CA and I do believe he has to show up in Orange County!!! If at all possible I will be there.
Happy rallying today to all! I’ll be praying and eating matzah for you.
Tournament for kids sounds nice Dolly.
Ohhh, THAT Thunder Down Under!!!! I can imagine the rowdy women!!
Thanks!

“I will tell you this much, if the brain dead Libs knew what the Dem lawmakers in Augusta REALLY think of them, they would go into meltdown.”
I have often thought about what the people in office really think of us lowly peons. We are seeing the peons giving the GOP and ear full.
“I saw the district polls for CA and I do believe he has to show up in Orange County!!!”
If he does I will make an effort to be there.
You will never regret it.
My common core story:
I helped my son last year with his English handouts (5th grade) and they had to read a story and answer questions. The stories were MORONIC. With zero values. Some had a “feel good” ending. Most were just dumb. The questions were leading, and always there was one that asked for too much personal info. (Ex: “Can you think of a time when you struggled with a secret? Tell that story.” Crap like that.)
Later, more recently, I was searching for writing jobs and came across a writing “mill” where they were collecting these “educational” stories. Found out that is where common core curricula get their stories! Just from milling them out to people earning pennies a word.
We used to learn English with sentences or essays from famous writers. Or great moral arguments or even the opposite, for learning purposes (like Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, etc). Common core is really a joke.
