Each week in J202, we have a current events section on the quiz. To stimulate your reading and thinking about what is going on in your world, I'll post a few items of interest to this blog. I invite you to comment on these posts, known as "KC's News Meeting," and add items that you read in the news. While I can't promise every quiz question will come from these posts and comments, they're a great place to start getting yourself into the news. So read up and comment (and remember, if I see more than 105 comments to all my blog posts in a week, everyone's quiz score for that week goes up a point).
Here's some of what I've been interested in this week:
- financial crisis at giant Lehman Brothers firm
- candidates and earmarks
- big, fat collider smashing teeny, tiny particles
- a stroke in North Korea
- conflict between Russia and Georgia
- lipstick, pigs and a "Swift Boat" accusation

The Gibson interview with Palin is getting a ton of press. She pretty much botched the Bush Doctrine question but performed OK in other spots. I personally think she did alright considering it was her first interview of the type. I'd say she's only able to get better.
