First, last week’s trivia answer — Warm Springs, Georgia — and the winning questions:
- Lee Annis: Where did FDR rehabilitate after contracting polio in the 1920s and 1930s and pass away on April 12, 1945?
- AlexC: What was FDR’s health-spa of choice?
- Peter Roff: Where did Franklin Roosevelt establish a hospital for polio patients in 1927 (which is still in existence today) that also later became home to his “Little White House?”
Now, this week’s Extreme Trivia answer:
“When I lead this country, the secretary of defense is going to have to make the choices, between how we keep, how we protect the survivability of our nuclear deployment on the Midgetman missile, or on the Minuteman, whatever it is. We’re going to have to—the MX. We’re going to have to do that. It’s Christmas.”
What’s the question?

In the first Bush/Dukakis presidential debate, how did Vice President George Bush answer this question posed by the Atlanta Journal_constitution’s John Mashek: ”
Mr. Vice President, the governor has suggested that you’ve never met a weapons system that you didn’t like or want. Are you prepared to tell the voters one system in this time of tight budgetary restraints and problems at the Pentagon that you’d be willing to cut or even eliminate that wouldn’t endanger national security?”

“What is one of the other examples of mangled linguistic endeavors that was made by the same president, the elder-Bush, who was known for saying he was fond of the music of the ‘Nitty Ditty Nitty Gritty Great Bird’???”
(For that matter, Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina. Whine on, Harvest Moon…. Gosh, aren’t you glad we rid ourselves of Bushes in the White House???)
