This Test Goes to Eleven

A short episode of The Test this week, on current events. Cunningham does fairly well, but current events are definitely not my forte-- probably because I don't watch TV or read the newspaper . . . I tend to get my breaking news from the comment thread on Gheorghe.  My performance is not particularly impressive. Perhaps you will fare better.

It's crazy TR. Very sad. been getting alerts from my kids school- as they are keeping them locked inside all day. Heard the guy is fleeing up I-81 near staunton/h'burg.

Dave said...

Lumpy said...

This is horrible. And reading the comment threads on any of the online articles about this will get you even more fired up.

T.J. said...

Mayhugh, cmon now, you NEVER read the comments. Of any article. Ever.

TR said...

Or on any blog. Only morons post there.

T.J. said...

this is our safe room, TR. or maybe our panic room, a la Jodie Foster. maybe both.

Especially don't read comments from any news sources around here, unless you want to be told that the reporter, interviewee and camera man should have all been packing AK47s.

It's weird to have a local news story reported nationally. Even the BBC was talking about it.
