Hey, if it’s outside of Route 128, who really cares?

The guys on the Patriots Football Weekly In Progress podcast yesterday got an email from a listener in Nicaragua which prompted the following burst of on-air reactions from the hosts:

“Where’s Nicaragua??”

“Is that Imelda Marcos and the shoes and her husband and all that?”

“I thought there was something happening there?”

“Yeah, Noriega. Daniel Noriega.”

It reminded me of the greatest reaction to the aftermath of 9/11 that I’ve heard:

I don’t like knowing about Afghanistan. I liked myself much better before, when I was nice and ignorant.
