Early this morning, MSNBC's Mika Brzenzinki (Morning Joe show) made a
fairly long comment about pronouncing Nevada correctly, including
showing the Michele Obama faux pas where UN-R students booed her when
she mispronounced our state, although she quickly recognized her error
and turned it into a positive.

Mika even said "since Joe is not here today, we can pronounce Nevada
correctly."
