     According to the Drudge Report [on the web] as reported to me by an
     intrepid staff member here, the White House web site had a map
     promoting President Clinton's "school reform tour." Among other
     things, on this website map, Owensboro KY was located near Memphis in
     Tennessee...Vice President Gore's home state.

     The map has since been removed from the website, but one must wonder
     about the geographic accountability and skill sets among White House
     advisors. Where is Kosovo anyway?
