Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Trivia Tuesday. Today I thought I'd throw in a few questions related to our neighbors here in the Rocky Mountain West. Yes, our beautiful region where the mountains are taller, the rivers are wider and where national networks forget our time zone exists ("Catch The Office, 8 Eastern and Pacific/7 Central on NBC!").
bco gal :: Trivia Tuesday - Rocky Mountain edition
Rules as always - no looking up your answer on the internets and you may post your own questions below.

Good luck!

#1 - During Obama's Berlin speech, what was the monument that was used as the backdrop?

#2 - The following initiative will be on the Colorado state ballot: The state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to any group or individual on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public contracting, or public education. Which amendment (number please)  is it?

#3 - Who was Thomas Jefferson's Secretary of Treasury? Big hint - a river in the Rocky Mountain West is named after him.

#4 - Name a state (besides ours) that currently has one Democrat and one Republican U.S. Senator.

#5 - Who is the Democratic candidate running against Barbara Cubin for Wyoming's only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives?

#6 - Where was the 2004 Republican Convention held?

#3 (4.00 / 1)
Gallatin, right?

Illegal is never a noun

Exactly! (4.00 / 1)
Albert Gallatin led a very interesting life. His bio is definitely worth a read.

[ Parent ]
Oh (0.00 / 0)
I was going to guess George Arkansas.

Take heart! http://codeneonblue.net

[ Parent ]
I believe this is the Gallatin (0.00 / 0)
that the Gallatin School of NYU is named for.

yes, I am a Gallatin graduate.


[ Parent ]
#4 - Virginia (4.00 / 1)
Jim Webb and whatshisname?

#1 It was the obilisk to commemorate the end of the Franco-Prussian War if I remember correctly, relocated there from the front of the old Reichstag - and I have no clue of the name.

#2 - 49?


Answers...... (0.00 / 0)
Yes on Virginia. Whathisname is John Warner. Soon to be replaced by another Warner - me thinks.

And as for #1, you've got the visual correct.


[ Parent ]
#1 Victory (0.00 / 0)
or Triumph.  I don't know the German but I know it is the name of Berlin's biggest gay newspaper.

[ Parent ]
That works (4.00 / 1)
It's the Victory Column.

[ Parent ]
And you would be correct! (0.00 / 0)


[ Parent ]
Cant believe I am the one that got that (0.00 / 0)
I also cant believe I actually got one.

[ Parent ]
#4 (4.00 / 1)
This is the Rocky Mountain edition, therefore the answers are New Mexico and Nevada.

Illegal is never a noun

You got it fella (0.00 / 0)
Two of the states are New Mexico and Nevada.
