Quiz Show!
The Price is Right! AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian
The Fix is an unabashed devotee of game shows -- from "The Price is Right" to the "$25,000 Pyramid" to our personal favorite "Sale of the Century".
So, we were pretty excited to find out that the Post has launched a daily politics quiz to test your knowledge of current events.
It's called "Political Stump" (heyooo!) and it's well worth a click. Worth noting: we took today's quiz and, you guessed it, we got 100%. The Fix always was a good student.....
Stay tuned for some news in the very near future relating to the Fix and game shows. Hint: Call me Quizmaster.

But you couldn't beat the silliness of Let's Make a Deal.

It was never the same after Monty Hall and Carol, standing in front of Door Number Three.

I like "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" better.

I was sort of worried that Price is Right would suffer when Bob Barker left -- you know, he did that sincere cheeseball stuff really well. Drew Carey does a great job.

LAHORE, Pakistan - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's said on Thursday it was "hard to believe" that no one in Pakistan's government knew where al Qaeda leaders were hiding, striking a new tone on a trip where Washington's credibility has come under attack.
Obama's credibility??? funny huh?

Heh. 5/5. Had to do some serious guessing, though. I figured the use of the word Almighty had to be "W".

CC, if you ever miss a question you should have to write "I will read my own paper" 100 times on a chalkboard.
I did enjoy that though. The paper should keep a running total so you can see how you do over time.
