    Sure FOX News told us about the UT Austin evacuation today, but they buried the lede* story:

    Apparently Missouri invaded and conquered Arkansas while Mississippi and Alabama were trading places. Good news, I guess, for Elwood and Anc's parents. Now they don't have as long a drive to New Orleans.




    Seriously. WTF? :wtf: :jayzus: :facepalm:





    *spelled that way because teevee people will often pronounce "lead" as "led" :facepalm:.

    Hey, they got a lot of them right, and Mexico's where it's supposed to be.

    I'll bet the President doesn't need the aid of misspellings from his teleprompters, so he pronounces things right - I bet he can read two, sometimes even three words ahead.


    The Simpson's episode with spoof of the x-files had the same kind of trap, "Keep watching the skies."

    Meh. That's more accurate than 98% of FOX News reporting. When FOX News doesn't get something trivial wrong, that's news. :shrug:

    FOXNews is as honest in it's reporting as CNN or MSNBC...Take that either as a compliment or a put down of FOX.

    That's what you get when you use Microsoft's Bing instead of Google Maps. :shrug:

    Don't get me started on Google Maps.

    And I don't use Bing, either :bailey:

    MapQuest looks the prettiest, but I only use the MapQuest overlay that OpenStreetMaps uses.

    YOU FOOLS! Fox news has discovered something akin to "warp drive."
    Imagine if you will driving from Georgia to Texas. If Miss. and Alabama swap places at the right time, you just end up in Louisiana, saving a few hours.

    Wait - Fox news already found the fastest way to travel. How is this engineering coming along, anyway? Obama should get his people working harder on this.

    DAMN! According to the pie chart they also broke the laws of mathematics. Who can stand before such greatness and not tremble?
