Help! The "DUMB", it's contagious!

I don't know anyone else who doesn't. If the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography in our education so people will learn how to read maps better." While that answer is technically coherent, it's still not really that good... It’s also worth noting that when she was on some talk show, and got to answer the question again, she said:

I almost feel sorry for her. Almost. I love how she randomly names countries. What South Africa or Iraq have to do with the question, we'll never know. This has been everywhere lately.

Still all she had to say was something about the lack of education on geography in the u.s. and bla bla and world peace. its a bit of a worry her answer, but I think she was probably so nervous she couldnt formulate a decent answer.

You happened to post something pretty decent about my blog and I thank you for it - unless you were being sarcastic ;) There's something about positive attitudes that draws me towards a person (or their blog), and finding yours I am immediately impressed with it's design. I'll spend some time here, thanks for that! BTW - Jenifer is actually from America... ;) I see I made it on “I talk too much”.
