Holy shit. Anyone that can draw the U.S. With that sort of precision should be president immediately.

Actually, given the inane crap that actually gets US politicians elected (or keeps them from getting elected), this is as good a measure as anything.

Maybe not, but he's surprisingly good with pentagrams. Not sure what to make of that.

I really enjoyed this, I just like seeing someone showing real knowledge of their country. Then at the end with the praising and talking with the kid, it's just all warm and happy for me. Hurray for Al Franken.

I have to say, this would be nowhere near as impressive if done by an Australian

He's definitely practiced a lot, and with some practice I bet any one of us could do this. He refused to draw Alaska and Hawaii.. Probably hasn't practiced those. I bet he can't even name or point out all the US territories. Not that I can, but I'm saying that practice makes perfect. Anyone can do a party trick once they learn how.

Without more proof of his genius, I'll leave it to too much time on his hands.

Hi Karlarlee,

Al's perfect 800 score on his math SAT's was a pretty good party trick also. But of course anybody can do this also if they practice enough...

I tried this once without practice. My map came out pretty sloppy and I completely forgot a state and couldn't figure out where I'd gone wrong. I think it was Utah. Delaware is another easy one to miss.
