CNN: The news channel for people who have never looked at a map

[Joe Republic]

The correct answer is Verily, of course.  Fezzy's good too though, even if he was kind of a hack back in the old days.

I forgot this classic:

Meh... close enough.

[Paul Kemp]

Did any of the TS crowd ever actually meet him? He struck me as a guido, or future guido.  I'm curious to know if I was correct.

He was more of a dumb rich boy who paid for everything using Daddy's money.

Was channel flipping last night and saw Sen. Pryor's photo on CNN (Anderson Cooper) with the allegation that he was a Senator from Arizona.

LOL,

Well, I wonder if we could arrange a swap.  I'd be more than happy to trade Pryor for McVain.

ahh... hm ,
 the fact that I had to consider the pro's and con's on such an idea..

 I ahh...

what else ya got?

What? Guido? He has reddish hair and is Jewish. Not guido-ish at all. He doesn't even act that way.

No, I haven't met him though we've been pretty close to each other at major events.

Plus his name is Marshall.

He managed to get himself pseudo-famous for 5 minutes by helping to get a fake Tea Party candidate onto the ballot in NJ-03 last year.

Ridiculous and dishonest are certainly two descriptions for MAS117.

Agreed.....Verily is very well written and quite on top of things..

Yeah, MAS and I are cool but I love laughing at this one over and over and over again. Congressman Runyan thanks him!

The best part is MAS' logic: he was "mad" at the now late Congressman for voting against the healthcare proposal...so he signed the petition of someone who was supposed to be even further right on the issue. Good one.

While I don't doubt that MAS was upset with the vote, he wouldn't be that mad with Adler anyway. They were friends. So he was not only caught doing something stupid but decided to make an even more ridiculous excuse that could be easily uncovered.

Note the positions of SF and LA on the map below.

That's one huge France!

Holy crap, that wasn't just a careless mistake.  It really took some effort to get it that wrong.

Charlemagne lives!

I just tried to think of who the best poster we've ever had to sport an NJ avatar was.

Though he doesn't have it now.

[King]

Wasn't Emsworth from NJ? He was alright.

I thought he was MA, though you might be right.

[Joe Republic]

Bump.

I now question why Persia felt it was necessary to attack Athens.

I'm pretty sure at this point that it must be an inside joke.

Looking at it again, it looks like the background map is too small a scale.  That one might be a technical error, as opposed to stupidity.

That doesn't explain how Toulouse is east of Lyon.

Yeah, there is no way the map team could consistently screw up this badly.

Toulouse is off, but the rest would be right on a larger scale map.

No, Lyon and Cannes should both be East of Paris.

Yeah, J. J. is talking nonsense once again:

It's not nonsense. It's JJ-sense.
