My son got today's FJ correct.
Howard, what was your answer on the State capital? I was desperately trying to figure out the trick, gave up, and went with the correct answer.

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Mar 30, 2016 7:28 pm

Albany. For some reason, I kept running through all the states in the west, and forgot all about New England/Maine. I was thinking Albany is kinda close to the border.

Is the real point of that week to find out which people in the news media actually aren't that bright?

howard · Post by **howard** » Thu Mar 31, 2016 3:49 pm

I hope Louie acquits himself well. I would bet on Chuck Todd (as he has increasingly become more and more of a shill for the system, he probably has not dropped many IQ points or trivia knowledge.)
