At least once a month, I try to put together the News Cut weekly news quiz. This is your lucky day. Be sure to post your results below.

I performed miserably as usual. 6 out of 15. I almost guessed several correct answers - does that count for anything?

8 out of 15 with one hint. Pretty ok considering I normally get a 6 or 7. I must have less to do and more time for News Q.

9/15, with no hints. And I should have had two more, but second-guessed myself...

10 out of 15.

Not bad considering I thought this was one of the hardest news quiz I've taken here.

11/15 again. I'm stuck there. Should have been more -- I knew some of the answers, I just read the question wrong. Yeah, right.

13/14- I love summer vacation! More time for News Cut and life in general. I told you so--summer vacation DOES make me smarter!

It appears that I've started the mid-summer vacation a week early this year. Only seven!
