NAU: Northern Arizona University or North American Union?
According to the Kingman Daily Miner, a local man is walking from Kingman to Bullhead City to protest NAU. Really? Are they so anti-education that they oppose Northern Arizona University, which provides statewide distance learning in Arizona, including in Kingman and Bullhead City? No, but it is sad that the state's main source of college degrees in those communities is not the most recognized NAU. No, NAU is the evil North American Union that the conspiracy theorists believe is ultimately a klandestine attempt to simultaneously bring Canadian socialism and Mexican corruption to America. So if you are xenophobic, move to Mohave County? Sadly, this isn't the stuff just of crazy talk radio or bloggers, but of the main newspaper in Kingman.

Matt, thanks for the heads up from your blog...which my Google Alerts caught. I called the Miner to see if they'd update their website story with the NAU acronym. I'll let you know what happens. : )
Matt...thanks for the heads up on NAU in the Daily Miner's headline about the North American Union...not NAU (I work at NAU Distance Learning). I called the paper and they immediately changed the headline. THANKS AGAIN.
