Okay, Enthusiasts, here’s a little bit of patriotic fun: the official practice test for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Inspired by the Feeble-minded Fuck’s altogether incorrect and terrifyingly naive view of the Civil War, I looked up the test and took it. I got 100%, but I am not bragging: it’s easy enough so you should feel a tiny bit ashamed if you don’t get 100%.

(Two points: 1, I almost got one wrong because I always forget whether Washington is on top of Oregon, and vice versa; and 2, every time I brush up against the realities of immigration, I thank God I’m not doing it. There’s homework involved.)

Go take the test; it’s a hoot. If you don’t have the time, or would rather not connect to a government website in case Obama starts wiretapping you, then here’s a few of the questions from the practice exam:
