The Twitter is all mad at US American Mitt Romney this morning for something about ... geography? Like such as not knowing that Syria is not Iran's "route to the sea" or something? And that in fact there is a whole other country between the two? Here, let some nerd explain it for you:
1. 'i guess romney missed the whole 'iranian threat to close the straights of hormuz' thing this summer? 2. then i was going to say 'what does he think 'persian gulf' means'? 3. THEN i was going to wonder if he knew of the connection b/t 'iran' and 'persia'?
then i remembered he's in a statistical dead heat to be POTUS and i realized i didn't want to know the answer to any of those questions.
You win. I last studied geography in high school in Alabama. The teacher, a dullard assistant football coach, told us that the capital of Finland was Helinski.
Mitt has a map, only it shows that the world is flat. And where the Middle East should be is beyond the edge and it just says "Here there be monsters".
Had I been drinking milk, it would have come out of my nose. Well played sir.
Stab, starve - let's not get bogged down in little details. So long as they vote R/R first.
It's because of our unquenchable jealousy.
Odd, that's the same description as a "Mitt Romney candidacy."
nope it was really real.

we are doomed.
Me too. I have a globe on my dresser, with a necktie around it that has a globe print on the fabric. And my Turvis Tumbler has a world map on it.
They've already started work on the Tehran-Latakia Canal.

<i>Like such as not knowing that Syria is not Iran&rsquo;s &ldquo;route to the sea&rdquo; or something?</i>
Your first mistake is in assuming that wingnut maps would have anything to do with geography.
Clever!
