My co-worker Amy and I got grabbed on the walk back from lunch by one of the local crappy news outfits for a "man-on-the-street" interview. They asked "what countries border Iraq?', obviously to point out how useless America's educators are, and further to prove that we probably have no business bombing the shit out of a country that we don't know their borders, mean elevation or average rainfall. I'll admit it, I choked. I could only come up with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Kuwait. Pat of course was able to rattle off all six when we got back to the office. I hope I don't show up as one of those "yokel" Americans on the 6 p.m. I did however manage to say that I was "uninformed, but highly opinionated". I'm sure that'll play well.
