And as other people have pointed out, Europeans aren't any better. Instead of states, they have countries to memorize. The sphere of knowledge seems to be about 500 miles. We know the states around us, they know countries, but they aren't covering a larger geographic area than Americans are.

As National Geographic surveys have shown, the average American's basic political geography knowledge is abysmal at best. They've presented a blank map of the U.S. to supposedly high school and college educated people who could only point out the correct location of 5 or 6 states, usually only those near their home states.
Rest in peace, Roger Ebert. You were the best.

Was her geography that rusty?

Well it is a hollow map made out of lights that's floating in front of her windshield put up by an alien with a space marble- cut her some slack.

What I didn't get was how she said something like well IF this is Cali and IF this is TX
Whaddya mean IF? It's a map and he's pointing at AZ. What's iffy about any of that?
