I hate to burst Robb's Hollywood induced bubble, but unless you defeat the reigning champion, you cannot lay claim to victory. A draw means that the holder of the title, retains it. Since the Fraters squad was the defending champion, our draw in trivia at Keegan's last night means that we continue as champions for another week.
But we must give the lad from Arizona credit. Playing on the road and teamed with Tommy from The Patriot radio station and Paul from Wog's Blog (who frankly seemed more interested in tilting at windmills than playing trivia), Robb somehow found a way to lead his squad to a score of twenty-four out of twenty-five. Not bad at all, despite the fact that the quiz was far from difficult.
It featured a patriotic theme and it was curious that the team featuring David Strom and Mark Yost fared so poorly. As Sisyphus plaintively asked, "Why does David Strom hate America?" We'll probably never learn the answer to that query, but those of us at Keegan's last night can go to our graves knowing what the word peeler means.
We also had a chance to engage in a little debate with Robb about some of the pressing issues of the day. Although I find myself disagreeing with much of what Robb believes, I do admire the uniformity that he and other like-minded libertarians (Vox Day for instance) tend to exhibit in their arguments about government power. It doesn't matter if they're talking about Bush, Clinton, Roosevelt, or Lincoln, they apply the same principles (unlike many on the left). In my opinion they are consistently wrong, but at least they're consistent.
