I just got 11 out of 11 on the Pew Political News IQ test...
Sadly only 38% of men and 29% of women know who signed Tarp into law......

1. Dang - I missed the British Prime Minister
And the annoying part is that I knew that I did not know the correct answer, but I had it down to two and picked the wrong one.

5. I only knew for sure because I was "schooled" by some DUers when I commented

2. Me, too! But I know if I weren't hanging out on DU all the time there would
have been some I wouldn't have known. The question most people got right was "what is Twitter".

14. It was an easy test.
I cannot believe that only 5% got 11 out of 11.
