I shamefully got a 7/13--but it was worth it for the commentary that came with my score: "Rather ignorant, I’m afraid. You’re clearly reading in slavish obedience to the censors. Are you going to be voting for Sarah Palin?"

I got that Palin comment too--the sting of it still smarts!

ACK! I got only 7/13. And this smart-ass comment:
"Rather ignorant, I’m afraid. You’re clearly reading in slavish obedience to the censors. Are you going to be voting for Sarah Palin?"
At least I know the correct answer to that last question!
