"Decided America vs. Divided America"

If you look at the vote totals inside the counties of the US, a way surprising trend shows up.

Freaky. Super-democratic areas vs. slightly-Republican centered divided areas.

Looking at that chart, I'm sorely tempted to say the reason Democrats are considered "out of touch elitists" is that, unlike for Republicans, there's a lot of Democrats who never, ever see Republicans.

Hmm, then again, it could also be districts that are virtually 100% black. Need more data.....

As if McCullough posts merely to raise his post count. Come on now.

Amusingly, however, what if McCullough's cock grew every time he posted? Maybe his secret plan is to one day have a cock big enough to fuck the entire world.

The McCullough Cock... coming in a continent near you!

The McCullough Baby... coming to a continent near you!

That seems like a much more likely hypothesis.

I live on Long Island. After the election I saw a precinct map in Newsday, the local liberal rag. Essentially, you had a lot of purple areas, a few reddish areas, a few bluish areas. Pretty evenly divided.

And then you had Hempstead, which is essentially a lower-class minority enclave, with all the implications (except gang violence, I think). Solid, complete, wall to wall blue. It was like somebody came along and just dropped a big blob of blue paint on the map.

Hopefully I'll be sat on by Chet in time to receive protection from being smited by McCullough's Holy Rod of Might +10451. Even if Chet doesn't prevent penetration, he'll make a nice condom.

And to follow up, 1) traffic appears to have killed the site, and 2) the creators showed up in the crookedtimber.org comments and said they screwed up creating this - it's actually not true.

So never mind!
