Morale Boosting

Loz. Hello.

A lover of books. After a faff around Tumblr, not really understanding it properly, this will become a purely bookish blog. I like other things too.

Attempting to read 50 books in 2011.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Really interesting graphic. I wonder if there’s a similar one for the UK. I still get confused about with Republicans being red and democrats blue. soupsoup: technipol: Why Elections Matter In One Graph Ezra Klein: “I’ve been trying to figure out how to link to Timothy Noah’s series on inequality, which falls under the rubric of “things you should read that I have nothing to say about.” One thing I can say is that Noah, Catherine Mulbrandon and Slate have put an enormous amount of work into creating visuals to accompany the articles, and the results are really impressive. This graph, for instance, is the best visualization I’ve seen of Larry Bartels’s striking data showing how different income groups do under Republican and Democratic presidents.” I think it would be important to note which party was in power, not just the president. Did republicans or democrats have the majority in either or both houses? This is sort of like using wins and losses to determine how good a baseball pitcher is rather than say, OOPS (what a great acronym)
