SAT's admit to "Republicanization" of test
Edited on Fri Mar-18-05 12:21 PM by underpants
PRINCETON NJ (AP)-A spokesman for the Standardized Achievement Test (SAT) has admitted that this year's test includes "right leaning" answers.

Although the answers may appear to be a disadvantage to moderates, liberals, and those without political acumen they in no way are a tool of the Hudson Institute's blueprint for the creation of a two-tiered education system. "No way no how" said the spokesman.

Samples were made available after last weekend's initial test taking.

"Pretty much anyone who needs to take it already has and anyone taking it again probably isn't 'college material' anyway", the Princeton organization said in a press release.

SAMPLE-Pythagorean's theorem states
a. a2+b2=c2
b. Mrs.Pythagorean is happier with a career outside of the home
c. No one touches the cash register who isn't family
d. Who cares? The Greeks are not a part of the "Coalition of the willing"

SAMPLE-Select the word that most adequately fits the following:

"This is my ____ without it I am nothing, without me it is nothing"
a. Constitution
b. thought process
c. gun
d. blastfax

SAMPLE- 2+2=
a. 1
b. 9
c. 22
d. How much money are you going to give me?

SAMPLE- The research vessel that Charles Darwin used was a boat named
a. The Beatle
b. The Beacon
c. The USS Abraham Lincoln
d. The Ark


SAMPLE- Oil is to water as ____ is to ____
a. ethics:money
b. morals:situation
c. birthright: opportunity
d. Dick Morris: open toed shoes

4. Is it funny because
there is no "none of the above" ?

His ship was the Beagle. Then again, I may be humor impaired and don't get the joke.

5. All the "correct" Republican answers are
d

At least that is what I meant by it-the punchline comes at the end.

The Ark fits because they can twist anything into a talking point that they all believe as gospel.

18. You will never see Dick Morris & a Fox HostESS on screen at the same time
and especially not in open toed shoes

Now that would be a great TV moment.
