Marina/Ramp: Currently mostly out of Jamestown but spend a lot of time at the other Marinas.

Pre2012-Conley Bottom Mostly, Waitsboro, Alligator I&II ramps, Leesford, Pulaski County Park (when it has water), Grider, State Dock (via boat), and Jamestown are a few places you might find me.

Who is the vice president? Ask America stumps voters
There should be the same quiz at the voting booths. If you can not answer who the President, Vice President, House Speaker, etc. is then you should not be allowed to vote that time.

It is uninformed people that get hype from ads, vote straight party tickets just because, and that do not know voting records etc. that keep putting certain people into office or keeping ones in that should be long gone.

Do you know who the vice president is? The speaker of the House? How many U.S. senators are there?

Don't know the answers to these questions? If not, you're not alone. As the Yahoo! News Ask America van travels the country asking people about this election season's hot issues, we pulled a pop quiz on some of them, stumping many with basic civics questions.

Check out some of people's answers, and maybe learn something for yourself.

:( And to think they are voting among us.... Unfortunately it is not exclusively the youth of America.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day ;)
