Today on CNN’s website: continuing coverage of the flooding in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Here’s an excerpt:

“The rain-swollen rivers and streams that make up the Missouri River system are cresting at different times as the water makes its way westward toward St. Louis, where the Missouri River meets the Mississippi…” (emphasis mine)

I’m sure there’s a story elsewhere on the site regarding continued under-achievement of American students when it comes to geography. I wonder if those reporters are somewhere near Denver at the moment. “Hey Bob, are we close to St. Louis yet?”

This is almost as good as the story about China launching space program to reach the moon. The image accompanying the story was an illustration of a Japanese flag on the surface of the moon.
