When she begins with "Some U.S.
Americans... don't have maps..." you know it's headed nowhere but downhill.

not in the way she had hoped.
Any chance of getting her to speak at Cafe Scientifique? ft

"Yes, you too are receiving the finest education money can buy!"
I had to turn it off at the "don't have maps" part - I think it's just too early for me to have to deal with whatever stupidity she was going to follow THAT up with.
US Americans are helping by providing her with a map:

Sorry, don't know how to cut and paste. Check out Boing Boing and you'll see it.
Scott, at least she wasn't asked a science question...
