One day I am turning on the AC, the next day I am turning on the snow blower. What the heck? Speaking of blowers, did this cause Limbaugh to go on one of his patented “no global warming” tirades. Well let’s face it, Limbaugh blows no matter what.
Speaking of blowing, if you were awake at all last week, you should be able to blow through this week’s questions with little resistance. Have fun.
1) A professional basketball player came out as gay last week. What team did he play for this year?

3) At the White House correspondents dinner Saturday, Pres. Obama had a suggestion as to who the GOP could start their minority outreach with. Who is that?
