Okay, Fine, More Maps
Like a scab, we just can’t stop picking at this election.
(Eww, wait, that’s gross.)
Check out this fab page put together by a University of Michigan prof & some grad students — it features two cartograms (like the graphic above, where states are scaled according to their electoral weight) and one very interesting bar chart (at the very bottom of the page).
Now leave it alone. It’ll never heal if you keep messing with it.

Uh, dude, your link doesn't work.
Dangit. You're right. I don't know what the deal is. It was working before. Oh well... just more red/blue/purple stuff.
One week you're all about the Darwin (which I loved, by the way), the next there's this election disconnection thing. Is there a link between the two?
National Geog says this: According to a Gallup poll drawn from more than a thousand telephone interviews conducted in February 2001, no less than 45 percent of responding U.S. adults agreed that "God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so."
Are we disconnected from more than politics? Does it go to the heart of science and the search for knowledge?
Or perhaps I'm climbing higher than I should up the ladder of abstraction...
