Fair and Balanced in Terms of Stupidity
If you read the title and are expecting a rant on politics in today's news, don't bother. You won't get one. Go read something by Al Franken or Bill O'Reilly. In fact, throw bias to the wind and read something by both those windbags.

No, this is just stupidity in general.

First, an article from FoxNews about a 91-year old golfer hitting a hole in one. The guy is from Thunder Bay, Ontario, and the article says that the 'burg "is in northern Ontario, about 20 miles from the Minnesota border on Lake Superior."

Except it isn't - Thunder Bay is in central Ontario. No point of Ontario within 50 miles of Minnesota could be classified as being in the northern part of the province. Here's proof. Next thing you know, we'll read about Paraguayan guerillas crossing the border into Micronesia. Nice job, champ.

Also on FoxNews, the editors put up an article about Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (fine job using colons, Mr. Lucas). Keep in mind, the article was published May 26, the movie opened May 19th - 7 full days of tickets have been counted (tickets for the 26th aren't figured into this, obviously, because the shows haven't been seen yet). Read this quote:
"With $182 million in the till, the film has taken in about $10 million a day since last weekend. The $200 million point will occur on its eighth day of release, which is certainly some kind of record."

Actually, the movie took in a gate of $159 million in its first four days, meaning that it's taken in $23 million over the last three. So, you have 23 million dollars divided by three - that's seven million dollars per day, not ten. And if it keeps up that pace, it won't hit 200 million dollars until day 10, not day 8.

So, Fox News has failed Geography and Math today. Maybe the No Child Left Behind act should have included news columnists...
