Political Quiz

A version of "Jay-walking" on the U of Colorado campus.

Many fine moments.

But my favorite is when they ask one kid, "How many judges on the US Supreme Court?"

Silence. Then a hint: "It's an odd number!"

Kid responds: "Oh, eighteen." We are so screwed.

(Nod to Anonyman, who visited Chez Mungowitz with the lovely Ms. Anon this past weekend. Very nice time)

Of course these are the people who were dumb/vain enough to stop and be interviewed.

As a current physics grad student and former TA at Colorado, nothing really surprising here. But, I think I should offer at least a partial defense. So, in all fairness ... it was game day*! That just isn't fair! Who on earth could remember anything about Joe Biden after smoking as much as these kids had? They probably thought they were on a quiz show to win free lift tickets at Loveland.

* At least for the people at the Boulder campus - some were clearly in Denver.

And also, this is Boulder, we all know it's going blue. Rational ignorance?
