Oh, Putz. (updated)

This post will prove to be embarrassing. By and by some wag will say, "Who could've foreseen that a scandal pushed by The Load and Jammy Wearing Tool would implode?"

Update: As some readers have noted in the comments, it appears Georgia is not the only country that comes up blank on Google maps, so it seems this just happens to be coincidental.

The reason Georgia is blank on Google Maps is because Google has yet to add detail data to it. This is the same reason Armenia, Paraguay, and Samoa are blank too. I don't see any bias here (even though Google clearly has political bias elsewhere).
