“The top map is voting patterns in this 2008 election– the bottom map is cotton production in 1860…”
amazing. great demonstration of when graphical representations let us understand information in a clearer way. of course, i’d like to see some other maps as well - population density, racial distribution, etc, to get a clearer view of the correlation, but it’s still quite interesting. (pin the tail, big ups to dave for the link.)
I’m also troubled by…what members of the party say, and is permitted to be said, such things as ‘Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.’ Well, the correct answer is he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian.
But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country?
The answer’s no. That’s not America.
