Map of the day.


I've come to appreciate our mail-in elections as an effective block to Republican voter suppression efforts.

Of course, that doesn't mean anything unless you fill out the ballot that's sitting there on your desk and mail the damned thing in.

Dylan got it way back when...

...He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

Darryl does the math, so we don't have to, and finds President Obama with a 95.8% proability of defeating Romney...


Feel better now?

A bit ago the Brilliant and Beautiful Bride of Upper Left assumed her alternate identity as the Queen of Thanksgiving, and the house is filling up with the bouquet of the feast to come. Just spending one more day with the BBBUL/QOT is more than enough cause for gratitude, and I have so much more than that to be thankful for.

As always, I'm thankful, too, for all y'all who hang around here with me.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hat tip to Juan Cole, who adds...
Just to be clear, the 1% are about 3 million, the 9% are about 27 million, and everyone else crowded into that little torrid strip is about 278 million.

I don't understand enough about the nature and effect of rads to know how bad this actually is, but I can't imagine it's good.

I thought I got the maps out of my system last week, but this one from Goldy's first print piece as a Stranger columnist got picked up by Slog and I couldn't resist...



As usual, this one will click a bit bigger, but there's an even larger version here.

Speaking of Truth Surfer…

…that's the source for our latest Map of the Day entry for Map of the Day Week, and another difference between the upper left and Minnestota…



I'm kind of surprised, and considerably disappointed. What's wrong with us, anyway? We have a woman Governor, two women as Senators, scads of woman legislators and we're behind Mississippi in pay equity? Jeebus.

No matter where you are, there's still plenty of time. If you haven't, go vote. If you're in the upper left, fill the damn thing out and mail it in. Now.

Map of the day.

Via the New York Times...
This map shows each state re-sized in proportion to the relative influence of the individual voters who live there. The numbers indicate the total delegates to the Electoral College from each state, and how many eligible voters a single delegate from each state represents.

(It clicks a bunch bigger.)
