Timewaster Of The Week-July 16

This is not so much as waste of time as it is a test to see if you can pass a citizenship test.
Today, The Enterprise carried a story about the folks wanting to become U.S. citizens. One requirement is passing a test that has all sorts of questions about American history.
Sadly, some folks who already are U.S. citizens can't pass the test. To accompany the story, our reporter went out with a video camera and asked a group of everyday folks to answer some questions, with predictably amusing results. One woman thought Houston was the Texas capital, for example.
So how do you think you stack up? Find out here:

Some questions are rather tricky. I missed one question, the one about the original 13 states. Shamefully, I was off by one state.
Nevertheless, I passed the test with flying colors.
On a side note, reporters here, as well as the general public, often confuse the word "citizen" with "resident."
No one is a citizen of Texas or Beaumont. You only can be a citizen of a country. Otherwise, you're a resident.
