A woman split from her pirate husband. The pirate was a ghost, and she couldn't stand to be married to him any longer. No, this isn't a joke. Well, it is pretty funny, but it really happened.

Officials in Washington, DC refused a marriage license to a man because his driver's license showed that he was from a foreign country - New Mexico. The officials were eventually re-educated and issued the license.

The first news is unusual but acceptable. The second one is distressing.
How could someone work for the government ignoring that New Mexico is a State of the Union? How are those people hired to jobs that require not only common sense but also a certain level of education?

You understand we're talking about Washington D.C. here. The way this country is run, it is not at all surprising that staff at the DMV there wouldn't know that N.M. is a state. I mean, look who's in the White House.The first news is unusual but acceptable. The second one is distressing.

Look whose in the Whitehouse? There is a magazine out of N.M. that list stories like this quite often. It has been doing this since long before the current leader of this country.

It is a sad commentary of the state of education nowadays. And not necessarily the fault of school systems.
