In general I think AOC has been a pretty sharp politician, but her decision to keep supporting Biden even after the debate was a bizarre misstep.

Democrat DEI.


This is stupid. That said, most all grading by strict percentages is stupid, so...

A baseball player gets a hit in 40% of his at bats: That must be an "F" (or at least a "D"), right? Oh wait, he's in the Hall of Fame...

An airline pilot lands his plane safely 97% of the time: 97%? That's for sure an "A", right? Oh wait...

Was there ever a time for you when 92% was a B plus? I'm over 50 and 90 has always been an A minus in every class I ever took with a grade.

Never. When grading by the percentages, 90% is usually the cut-off between "A-" and "B+".

The whole percentages thing is fairly arbitrary, though. I can construct multiple choice questions which will have widely varying scores just by manipulating the "distractors" (wrong answers).


Agreed. I prefer short answer over multiple choice when designing assessments

Each of the following was President of the United States except for _________.

a. Barack Obama
b. Joe Biden
c. Donald Trump
d. Alexander Hamilton

Compared to...

Each of the following was President of the United States except for __________.

a. John Tyler
b. Benjamin Harrison
c. Zachary Taylor
d. Alexander Hamilton


Multiple choice questions can be great if they are well-worded and well-constructed. Many are not (especially as they relate to the flawed grading concept of ... 90%+ = "A" ... 80%+ = "B" ... etc.)

Ebert never had the instincts to be able to identify a good lowbrow comedy, which is why he underrated so many movies that were popular with the public.

It has been revealed that the Arcadia mayor who admitted to being a Chinese spy donated to the Democrat Senate Campaign Committee via Act Blue.

Democrat Senators are being funded by Chinese spies!

Trump is polling so poorly and still the democrats are even with republicans. The Democratic Party is absolutely a mess. If Trump's numbers are really so bad, Dems should be running away with things and they continuously aren't.

It is quite possible for a lot of people to be mad at both Trump and the Democrats.
