Well, I got an 8, which means I'm the most liberal here (though none of as are as liberal as Hank or Slave is conservative). But, yes, the questions are fundamentally off. After all, we all know that I am left of Jesse Jackson, and that Slave is to the right of Ronald Reagan. What's with the compressed scale?

Ok. I got it to 38 by trying to give the most "conservative" answer circa 1994 -- then up to 39 by agreeing that one should never, ever raise taxes even to address the most serious environmental issues.

I now feel both retarded and in need of a shower. I really don't think RR would have scored a 40, but I may be misremembering his philosophy.

Perhaps I mixed up 1994 answers for the Haiti-Korea question.

I do not believe the reports that the Bush Administration wants to fill the Grand Canyon with cow shit to erase geological evidence inconsistent with Young Earth creation theories. And neither should you.

And for bonus points, like all your other blogger theories, it can't be disproven. Way to go Ty!!!!

You're the one who favors the scientific method, right?
Just out of curiosity, do you try your patent cases assuming the burden is on you to prove your client didn't not develop the contested art first?

I got a 14, on a scale of 0 (Jesse Jackson) to 40 (Ronald Reagan).
I got a 20. Who's more centrist than me, Bitches?

Since you think taxes are too low then, why don't you volunteer away another 1/3 of your take home?

When you thought we needed to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, did you enlist?

I don't know how RR could have gotten to 40, either, as a score of 40 requires caring about reducing deficits, which RR did not especially.

The quiz only considers lip service to deficit reduction.
