Only a true patriot can draw the US from memory.
Senator Al Franken drew an accurate map of all fifty U.S. states at the Minnesota State Fair recently.
The senator from Minnesota performed during a recording for Minnesota Public Radio. The video is set to music, so you can't to hear any "oohs" or "ahhs" from the audience.
This isn't the first time Sen. Franken drew the map for an audience. Franken showed the party trick and auctioned it off during a 2007 Democratic fundraiser in Minnesota.Middle Class Warrior remembers drawing maps of the US and it regions when he was in elementary and junior high school. That was an era when students still took civics and history classes.
Watch Jay Leno's Jay Walking to see how far knowledge of civics and US history has dropped since then. Many college students can't identify pictures of Abraham Lincoln or Thomas Jefferson.
