Well done.






Looks like someone in the White House press office needs to brush up on his or her U.S. geography.
The press office issued credentials to those reporters and photojournalists who are covering the president’s trip this week to Washington state, California, and Colorado. The credential even provides a handy graphic highlighting (in white) which states the president will visit.
The only problem?
Wyoming is highlighted, not Colorado. To be fair, both states are rectangular, nearly identical in size, and stacked next to each other. But we doubt our third grade teachers would buy that!

..............As long as they can follow the money, who needs geography!

I read some more articles available through that link, and, IMHO, the US is treading water in a septic tank. Soon to be coming to a Canukistan near us. Scary.

Is this White House staff even familiar with any geography of this nation? They even made a comment about the recent very large wild fires in Arizona and Texas stating that wilds are unusual in those areas. What? How about every summer?

That's a problem with having 50 states. If there were 2 states this kind of thing might not happen!

Dear Mr. President,

There are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three.

P.S. I am not a crackpot.
