I don't have a prize this week. Sorry. Maybe we can get people to donate prizes -- maybe some raw milk or something.
Here's a big hint to the secret of success this week. Reach each question carefully. Wait a second for the quiz to load. And post your answers and complaints below.

Wow, this is far and away a personal best: 13/15! I must have done an extra-thorough job reading News Cut this week.
Wow! 12/15! My PR as well!
Almost got tricked by the Roger Clemens one. But caught my cursor just in time!
15/15.
Too bad I didn't do this well last week.
Kerri wouldn't have had to worry about overloading her Twitter activities, as I have no account to follow.
What!?! kwatt won? I demand a recount!
An embarrassing 10-15.
12. Again. I can never quite seem to get over the hump to 13...
10/15. Protein power?
11-15. I can sleep well, knowing I bested Kevin. Again.
Crappy this week. 8 :(
13/15. My personal best.
Early precinct returns seem to be suggesting I made this one too easy.
10/15, not my best. Perhaps a good prize would shout out to winner on 4:20 news update on the current!
11-15 I'm happy.
Possible 12 but, duh! Federal Grand Jurys get you for lying, not for what you did.
Very well worded question.
14 of 15, no hints.
12- but ashamed to admit I did not know who the governor of Iowa was.
Took the quiz this week with the assistance of my better half, and as a result, my score doubled. 12!
13/15. Normally, I get every sports question wrong, but this week, I even surprised myself. Mmmm...protein powder!
13/15 - Reminder to self: Read "Welcome to Iowa" sign next time I have a chance.
