If I were a whiner, I would point out that the TV Alex would allow a correct answer to win even if it's not the one they were going for. But I'm not, so I won't.

hmmm, I think I was right, just not specific! But since I control the board I won't complain! :)

I'll take famous quotes for $500, please!

Fitzy got it:

"Commenting on the facilities that have been set up for the evacuees -- cots crammed side-by-side in a huge stadium (the Astrodome) where the lights never go out and the sound of sobbing children never completely ceases -- former First Lady Barbara Bush concluded that the poor people of New Orleans had lucked out.

"Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them," Mrs. Bush told American Public Media's "Marketplace" program, before returning to her multi-million dollar Houston home.

On the tape of the interview, Mrs. Bush chuckles audibly as she observes just how great things are going for families that are separated from loved ones, people who have been forced to abandon their homes and the only community where they have ever lived, and parents who are explaining to children that their pets, their toys and in some cases their friends may be lost forever. Perhaps the former first lady was amusing herself with the notion that evacuees without bread could eat cake.

Wonder if the former First Lady got a chuckle out of hearing that some Katrina victims were issued toxic trailers from FEMA that some are still living in? The same trailers that FEMA employees were warned not to enter due to toxic fumes (formaldehyde , for one, which is a known carcinogen). (Sorry to interrupt the game, Larry.)

The answer is:

This is the science of social interaction between weird, strange and wonderful people.

Sorry, incorrect. But close. (tailgating is the practice, not the science)
