Oh, Pew!

By Sniffles

We cats just aced the Pew Research Center News IQ test of basic political knowledge. But we're not waiting for our gold star or blue ribbon. We're supposed to know stuff like this.

What we're concerned about is that when we got our results, Pew told us that we "scored better than 90 percent of the population and the same as 10 percent."

Eek! Only 10 percent of Americans know that Republicans control the Senate, that three women sit on the US Supreme Court, and that the photo above is a picture of Senator Elizabeth Warren? And that bit about not knowing who Malala Yousafzai is? Pretty scary.

In this alleged age of instantly accessible information, there's some pretty important stuff that's not getting through. We cats are doing our part to rectify that, but still, we HISS.
