I could barely get through the quiz because the second question was just too dumb, but I tried:

"You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore."

See you, Ward.

  • After more than two years of public tumult, the University of Colorado Board of Regents voted Tuesday to fire a professor whose remarks about the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks led to a national debate on free speech. But it was the professor’s problems with scholarship that the board cited as the cause for his termination.

    The professor, Ward L. Churchill, was dismissed on the ground that he had committed academic misconduct by plagiarizing and falsifying parts of his scholarly research.

    The board voted 8 to 1 to dismiss Professor Churchill. “We wanted to do what was right for this university,” the board chairwoman, Patricia Hayes, said after the vote. “We did not address Professor Churchill’s freedom of speech as part of our discussion.”

Here's me:
  • You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

Me 2.

They didn't have the zoning questions to distinguish us. It's a truly stupid quiz.

Californians for Obama

This guy ought to be nailed for fraud, if there's any justice.

Wow. That man is a hustler's hustler. He should get an award, then be sent to jail for fraud.

Postwar by Tony Judt

Anyone read this? I am making my way to the end of it now. Highly recommended and very readable, especially about Eastern European history through the sixties and seventies and the demise of the Soviet Union. He also rejects the two generally accepted versions I always hear (depending on the interlocutor): "Reagan spent the USSR into bankruptcy through the arms race" and "the USSR was doomed anyway and the arms race was irrelevant." Poor old Gorby gets all of the blame from Judt.

You are a New Left Hipster, also known as a MoveOn.org liberal, a Netroots activist, or a Daily Show fanatic. You believe that if we really want to defend American values, conservatives must be exposed, mocked, and assailed for every fanatical, puritanical, warmongering, Constitution-shredding ideal for which they stand.
