    Civics test

    http://polls.aol.com/ifs/poll/election/quiz283.adp

    I got a horrid score, 6 out of 12 (mostly I missed specific numbers, like how many Justices are on the Supreme Court or exactly when the Constitution was written).

    Anyhow, test your knowledge of how the government works. It amuses me that we gloss over this so freely in elementary school.

    9 out of 12... not too bad I suppose.

    You should be ashamed of yourselves. Me, a foreigner, got 10 out of 12.

    Got wrong the length of a senator’s term and who becomes Prez.

    Guessed two of those I got right though

    But still...
