The next time one of these meatheads criticizes a politician for ignorance
about basic geography, remember this article:


It's more likely careless reading than ignorance of geography. Remember, a
headline isn't written by the author of the associated article. So what
probably happened was that some editor saw "border crossing west of Detroit"
and assumed that it meant *just* west of Detroit, and wrote the headline
accordingly.
