Undertoad Sunday Oct 27 12:53 PM10/27/2002: MSNBC misplaces a state

As the news came in that the sniper[s] had been caught, and that the Alabama shooting was connected, MSNBC tried vainly to give us a sense of where these events were taking place... and made Mississippi the new Alabama.
Chewbaccus Sunday Oct 27 01:48 PMI actually used to do that myself. They're almost a mirror image of each other. I eventually gave up and just said "there".

It's best to live in the west - square states rule!
goethean Sunday Oct 27 06:15 PMHey...it happens. I consider myself good at geography and just found out that Colorado and Wyoming's position were the reverse of what I thought they were.
elSicomoro Sunday Oct 27 10:15 PMWell, they've done worse, with the whole "Nigger" Ellis deal earlier this year.

edit: not even me, apparently. is it innis or innes? googling it brings up the same sites for both. the infamous msnbc image spells it innis, but then they spelled the first name wrong too.
Nic Name Sunday Oct 27 10:50 PMIt's Innis.
Here's his official website.
Here's the MSNBC gaff for those trying to follow this thread. 
Nic Name Sunday Oct 27 11:02 PMIndications are that the accused snipers will not face trial in Alabama.
Geographic profilers say they'd be executed in Virginia before a decision could be reached on where exactly is Alabama.
ndetroit Sunday Oct 27 11:55 PMrofl..
... hahaha...
sorry for the 'me too' pointless post, but nic name always cracks me up. 
Beletseri Monday Oct 28 05:40 AMI think they should let Alabama try them. It sure would be a lot more entertaining on court TV with all the good ole southern boys.
Nic Name Monday Oct 28 10:01 AMGood ol' boy thinkin'

Quote:
"That place is a complete haven for international terrorists," he told co-host Bill Press. "Even their own retired security guys say it's a complete haven. We . . . need lectures from some people, not from Soviet Canuckistan."
MSNBC spokeswoman Alana Russo said from New York the network has not received any calls of complaint.

OTTAWA — The United States has agreed to back off from its controversial policy of fingerprinting and screening Canadian travellers of Arab origin, Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said today.
He told the House of Commons he got the news from Paul Cellucci, the U.S. ambassador.
"He informed me that in the future Canadians carrying Canadian passports will not be treated any differently depending on where they were born or for any reason whatsoever," the minister said.

Damnit...he seemed to be improving. He really did...he was making progress. He seemed to have mellowed, even with his battle with Donahue in July. Then he has to come out of his mouth with some mess like that.
Let's get him back on the wagon people!
