Okay, folks, there are only about 270 days left until GWBush returns to his true calling, viz., pulling tall weeds from dry dirt in Texas. In the meantime, it remains for a grateful nation to summarize his remarkable tenure as leader of the disintegration of the world’s last superpower.
What better way than to pose the issue in the form of a standardized test, to show how the people of the USA has gotten even smarter and smarter?
An opening sample is given below, although before approaching this problem one may wish to consider the words of Dan Ariely (who is probably a disgruntled jew, or, an MIT professor, all of which amount to the same thing)
[Experimenters] asked Asian-American women to take an objective math exam. But first they divided the women into two groups. The women in one group were asked questions related to their gender. ... The women in the second group were asked questions related to their race... The performance of the two groups differed in a way that matched the stereotypes of both women and Asian-Americans. Those whose who had been reminded that they were women performed worse than those who had been reminded that they were Asian-American. Ariely, PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL (2008) p. 169
Anyway, please provide additional options for the following question:
THE BEST WAY TO SUMMARIZE GWB’S 8 YEARS IN OFFICE WOULD BE:
a) There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action—Goethe
b) Heckuva job Brownie!
c) Mission Accomplished!
