Map of America, based on wire service stories

Where's Alaska, damnit?

 

It's just west of Canada. We covered Canada earlier in the thread.

 

That just looks dirty.

 

Better than a map of Hawaii, based on wire service stories. That'd be a weird fetish.

And that's actually a map of the U.S., based on you having an acid trip.

 

The comments under the story on the site are rather interesting.

Part of it focuses on major events.

Some folks point out that Georgia and Colorado are bigger than they might be because of the Olympics and the Columbine massacre, which took place in the study time frame.

Certainly Louisiana would be much bigger if the Katrina years were included.

 

Also surprised that Arkansas was so small, considering who was in the White House at the time and all the Whitewater / Paula Jones stuff was so prominent.

Now HERE's a map for you:

 

Not New York Cut?

 

Ah, nothing like some video game Engrish.

 

Fifteen minutes from Tahoe.

 

Glad this didn't include the modern Paris-Brittney-Lohan era of "news." And if this was video only, I'd have to think Florida would come up HUGE, between alligator captures, Anna Nicole, Spring Breaks gone horribly wrong and other "caught on video" moments.
