Last week's winners: First Responders, Twitter, Boston Red Sox (regardless of the score), guy with a boat, guy with the cowboy hat, ordinary American citizens.
Last week's losers: CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, the Tsarnaev brothers, civil liberties, regulatory inspectors of fertilizer plants, and perhaps the biggest loser of them all… the U. S. Senate.
If more people don't try, then this is the last trivia question. (This weekend's question – only Duke tried.)
Assuming that the 1964 race wasn't considered a re-election campaign, that is the only one I can think of.
I agree – President.
That seems like a "take my ball and go home" attitude, Dave.
May I make a suggestion? I was a history major, and I find many of your questions to be obscure. This one is a good example – one has to have read Caro's biography in order to know the answer. While history buffs generally know that LBJ wasn't a clean politician by any means, I don't think it's widely accepted that he was that corrupt.
So, do you think you can find questions that we might have a better shot at knowing? Not looking for easy ones like "Who gave the Gettysburg Address," but things like "Who was the first female cabinet member" was really good – something history and political buffs might know, but certainly not such common knowledge as who was our first president.
Ok, I'll make them easier. FWIW, I though this weekend's one was in that category.
I thought this weekend's question was tough, but no, it wasn't that obscure. I do remember reading the killer's motive a long time ago, but it just wasn't coming back to me.
What I love about this one was it was totally non-political. That's why I said killed instead of assasinated.
U.S. Senate Majority Leader?
I hadn't thought of that one but that clearly was fairly won. And so that would be the first.
Agree with Ari. Any question with this many ifs ands buts and a not necessarily proven allegation thrown in, based on one author's view of the available evidence in one book, is not the kind of question that is going to attract wide participation.
David, I think everybody has strengths and weaknesses, topics more and less interesting. Myself, I'm pretty comfortable with U.S. Military trivia but woefully lacking on a wide range of topics.
Sometimes I don't answer because googling first is just cheating, and I'm not even warm with a hunch.
Give it a few more times if you have the patience, and see how it goes. While I'm not on the site nearly as much as I like, I really enjoy it.
I LOVE these questions.
But, I don't respond if I don't know the answer. Google has replaced my brain.
Please keep them coming.
Junior High School Class Vice President?
VP -1960?
Nah — While it's possible LBJ didn't stuff the ballot box in 1960, old Joe Kennedy certainly did in Illinois, so scratch this one off the list.
There's credible evidence both Illinois & Texas went for JFK due to stuffing. So call that a team effort
And JFK had a little help in Chicago from Frank Sinatra as well who put the finger on Sam Giancana to deliver the votes.
Ok, the questions will continue. And I love not only the guesses here but roccoprahn came up with one I hadn't thought of – and it was the correct answer!!!
Live for yourself David…
WMD's finally found……in Texas
The fertilizer plant that blew up leveling a town in Texas killing at least 14 and injuring scores more had been storing at least 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate beyond safety limits. Yet West Fertilizer, the company that owned the plant, did not disclose this to regulators, nor were UN weapons inspectors allowed to inspect the plant.
When asked about the WMD's found in his home state, former President George W. Bush remarked " Shazaam, we never thought to look here! " Bush was referring to the war he started in Iraq in which 5,000 Americans died, over 100,000 Iraqis died, and cost over one trillion dollars. But no WMD's were ever found.
Bush was also asked about rumours Ken "Kenny Boy" Lay was not dead but actually living in a bunker on his Crawford ranch, but he declined comment.
Good grief! It's only 5 miles between West, TX and Crawford, TX! You'd think W would have found the illegal stockpile of ammonium nitrate when he was "clearing brush" on his ranch!
Save lives, reduce global warming – go Nuclear.
