The levee one got me. The correct answer seemed a little too "slick".

This little nugget of information was particularly telling on "officeholders":

Only 32% can properly define the free enterprise system, and only 41% can identify business profit as “revenue minus expenses.”

No wonder our economy is so messed up.

31/33, but I guessed correctly on a couple.

[Pacifist]

I missed a couple of history questions, one of which had to do with FDR, the Lyndon B. Johnson/Jimmuh Carter/B. Hussein Obumbler of his time, so I am not at all displeased.
