WMNF Evening News, Mon. Aug. 21:
During a report on fighting in Central Africa, newscaster Lisa Marzilli stumbled on the phrase "the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
She corrected herself, but we think her blooper should be permanently enshrined. From now on, we recommend that all state documents, flags, press releases, etc. should be modified to read:
"Welcome to Florida: The Democratic Republic of the Condo."
