Poor John McCain.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is taking some heat because yesterday in a speech he referred to the ongoing state of relations between Russia and Czechoslovakia.

Which is mildly embarrassing since Czechoslovakia hasn’t existed as a single country in more than a decade.

Oh well. On the bright side, I can see McCain winning a lot of votes with people around here who still refer to Southwest Tennessee Community College as "Shelby State."

And the people who still call the University of Memphis "Memphis State."

And almost certainly the people who still refer to Rhodes College as "Southwestern."
