Current Affairs [Thursday, December 19th]

"Hey," Josh said, drinking from his coffee. "Anyone else spend most of yesterday convinced you were God's gift to humanity?"

Donna called that "Wednesday" for Josh and would have been stunned to learn he had further layers of self-involvement.

"Anyway, here's your final. You guys have been a lot of fun--I'll be teaching a class next semester about how great it is to be President of the United States. You know you want to sign up."

With that, he passed out their exams.

Question 1

[identity profile] professor-lyman.livejournal.com 2013-12-18 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
The difference between the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare is:

1) Obamacare doesn't work and the Affordable Care Act does.
2) Affordable Care Act was originally written by Republicans and Obamacare is totally socialist.
3) THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. NONE.

Gert circled 3.

And then she darkened the circle by circling it a few more times. The paper didn't rip, but it was a near thing.

Question 2

The capital of Syria is:

1) Tel Aviv
2) Benghazi
3) Damascus

3 again!

These questions were awfully easy, Josh.

Question 3

[identity profile] professor-lyman.livejournal.com 2013-12-18 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Nelson Mandela passed away last week. Write me a (classy!) poem on why he mattered.

Gert's poem was not only tasteful, but made reference to a surprising amount of specific details of Mandela's life. It didn't rhyme, but you couldn't have everything.

Question 4

[identity profile] professor-lyman.livejournal.com 2013-12-18 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The government was shut down for weeks. How inept were the Republicans?

1) SO INEPT
2) OMFG COULD THEY *BE* MORE INEPT
3) Well, they're just not your party, Josh. Cut them some slack.*

*Number three is not the right answer.

Gert circled 2 this time.

Well. She agreed. Even if she didn't think it was something a teacher should be teaching.

Talk to Josh!

If you must, but he will be pretty quiet for a couple of days.
