For purposes of #8, are the answers “prostitute” and “politician” considered equivalent? 😃

I also thought of Pawlenty before Pelosi because he was just on The Daily Show, but luckily I kept thinking. (I thought of James Polk too.)

Target does sell TVs.

The only flower I could think of was four-o’clocks and I didn’t think that would be a popular answer. So I went on-line to look for alternatives, and the first list I saw had dozens of flowers in the fuchsia category but no forget-me-nots. If I don’t score well, that category will be a major reason why.
