Answer Me This Answers

1) D. The truck full of lighter fluid burst into flames, shutting down parts of the interstate near Atrisco overnight. Two people were taken to the hospital for treatment of their minor injuries, but their dog perished in the blaze.

2) C. Dr. Erin Bouquin spoke about
condom use in a TV interview and was suddenly asked to resign the same day, she says. The New Mexico Department of Health denies her allegation, and a spokesperson says the doc’s ouster was the result of structural reorganization. Bouquin counters that she was told she wasn’t meeting Gov. Susana Martinez’ expectations.

3) A.
A mini-gator named Chomper was in the care of BernCo Animal Care Services officer Scott Valenti. His bosses forced him to turn the baby alligator over to the Rio Grande Zoo. Doug Hotle, zoo curator, says there have been several gator surrenders in the last six months, and it’s a problem because it takes specialty gear to clean and feed the creatures. It’s against the law for people to keep pet alligators, which can grow up to be 9 feet long.

4) C. Secretary of State Ken Bennett has demanded
authentication of President Obama’s birth certificate from the state of Hawaii. "My responsibility as secretary of state is to make sure the ballots in Arizona are correct and that those people whose names are on the ballot have met the qualifications for the office they are seeking," he says.
