Very easy. 100%.

80%....Guess I passed.

My grand daughters ex boyfriend just became a citizen this past month. He is from Bosnia.

We are taking him out to dinner next week to celebrate. I'll try to remember how he scored.

Wow, 95%.  I said Scalia was the chief justice.

I got 90%. I said that the Senate protempore would be the next in line and that Alito was the Chief Justice. But at least I would have passed.

Could you pass the latest citizenship test?
You answered 100% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks.

45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

They live for the things they're afraid of

could escalate into a potential battle
leading to a nice, satisfying conflict
that's part of a war. There is a name for
such people. They're called assholes.
