The image was not intended to represent Garfield county. It was an ironic underlining of the fact emphasized in the story that the underground fracking nuke blasts in Colorado are being smoothed over by the years and by a lack of notable signs– manmade and natural– that the nuking happened and that radiation doesn't fade in mere decades.

The image wasn't a mistake. It was meant to be arresting and maybe a little provocative. It wasn't intended to be misleading.

Such mishaps tend to accumulate, said former 3rd Congressional District U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis, a Grand Junction Republican. “They can afford this one, but one or two more and that’s all you can absorb,” he said.

So if you count McInnis' voice mail snafu from a few weeks ago (where he had the same staff working on his campaign and “his” 527) and add this one to it. . .does he have one mistake left?

Canadian Rockies are one thing (and he should have known better, after Schaffer's faux pas) but making it look like Garfield County is one in the same as the Trinity bomb test site is just as – if not more – wrong.
