#2 But isn't that where Georgia is? It's just like confusing Orleans with New Orleans, which I'm sure happens all the time in certain circles. (We won't mention poor trailing daughter #2 at this moment, 'k?)

#4 Miss South Carolina Lauren Caitlin Upton
I personally believe, that U.S. Americans,
are unable to do so, because uh, some, people out there, in our nation dont have maps. and uhI believe that our education like such as in South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such asand, I believe they should uh, our education over here, in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.

Host Mario Lopez Thank you very much South Carolina.

"The Iraq"... I love it.

#5 Mixing up Orleans and New Orleans is like mixing up York and New York. The "New" is a dead give away for those clever enough to notice it.

We should have begun referring to Georgia as Sakartvelo (their totally legitimate alternate name) when they cut free of the Commies.
