Jaw still dropped

I can't resist sharing what I heard this morning. Driving into work I caught the end of a female vs. male contest where a male caller is asked three questions about things women typically might know vs. the female who is asked three questions about topics a man might know.

There's a tie-breaker and here's the question, open to either contestant to shout first if they know the answer...

Q: Who is currently being questioned to become the new chief justice?

A: Rehnquist

My jaw literally dropped. I would understand this better if perhaps it was a history question, but this question is timely and has been covered for the past several weeks in the news, in papers, online. There's no excuse NOT to know, especially when you want to be quizzed by calling into a radio program. And it doesn't matter if the female or male shouted it out first, the second contestant was equally clueless.

Rehnquist recently passed away. The correct answer is John Roberts.

Today's two cents: stay informed. Then call the radio program.
