What's Changed in Four Years

[barn32]

Top map is 2008. Bottom map is this day in 2004.

What's changed? Answer:

Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
Iowa

[Oh, and don't forget Tennessee. It eventually went red.]

[Tom]

And this means what, exactly.....

[equicom]

Would not Texas, with the largest population of Baptists and other fundamentalist types in the US (and probably the world) be a blue state? Where did you get that info from?

Texas seems to be a pretty conservative place for all their excesses. It's a great state though... they make Lone Star beer.

Plus it is where two recent republican presidents came from (and were elected governor). And the legal system is about as ultra-conservative as you can get in that state. Seems like dodgy info you have there.

And on the "changed" list, you left out Missouri and Arkansas.

Wow~ What planet are you from?

You act like you just got done watching Urban Cowboy (the movie) and suddenly your an expert on Texas?

Tennessee may have elected a few moderates with republican tags on them, but it is enough of a socialist state to have Andrew Jackson rolling in his grave.

Lone Star bear sucks. We had a graduation dinner and party at the end of med school at the Lone Star brewery. The beer was so bad that 200 med students and guests couldn't finish a keg. :ThmbDown:


Shiner Bock on the other hand is great. :ThmbUp:
Too bad Shiner Texas was to far from San Antonio for a party.

Only dorks drink beer from a keg. College kids think drinking a keg is cool, but any man knows the only way to serve beer is icy cold from a glass bottle.

Besides, Lone Star beer today looks very different to what it did in the early 1990's which is the last time I was able to get my hands on some. It used to be made with all kinds of grains and every bottle had the words made with pure artesian spring water on the label. None of that is on there now, so I'd guess it is a completely different formula. It looks completely different in their ads.

It was a great beer back in the day. Unless you didn't make a typo there and you guys were so drunk you actually tried to drink a keg of bear. In that case, I'm not at all surprised you couldn't finish it.

I don't know why you guys keep singling me out. You just end up with egg on your faces, just 'bout every damn time. Haven't you noticed yet that you never ever win when you try to make me look stoopid? You always come off second best. Every time. You, Tom, Boxcar, all just end up looking retarded.

For starters, are you denying that two presidents came from Texas? I mean are you really that stupid? Give this republican a big round of applause folks, he doesn't even know what state his president comes from!

Or maybe, just maybe, you're denying that Texas has a whole mess o' baptists? OK. Official statistics show that there are 8 non-baptists in Texas for every baptist. In California there are 100 non-baps for every bap, and in NY the ratio is 667:1.

As a country, the United States has an estimated 33,175,526 baptists, about 12.11% of the population (that means 12 in every 100 people are baptists, but in New York you'd have to assemble almost 700 random people to find one baptist, and he'd probably be a tourist anyway!). The country with the next highest number of baptists is India with 1,544,203, equivalent to 0.16% of their population (in other words, only about 1 in 10,000 people are baptists).

This means that the United States has more than 30 times the number of baptists compared to the country with the next highest number.

Now, Texas has 3,259,395 baptists (and counting!). The next largest population of baptists after that is North Carolina with 1,446,228. In other words, Texas has more than double the number of baptists than any other state in the United States, which has more than 30 times the number of baptists in any other country.

And you have the nerve to give me cheek, mister! You're all horns and no cattle. Git along.

Are you from Canada?

[Tom]

He keeps beating us to the punch.

[equicom]

Are you from Canada?

Nope. But I can say "eh" just the same.

*Edit*

I should revise that statement slightly. I have previously lived in Canada. And the US. And lots of other places.

We used to watch the health of the VP with some concern

Could be the President if the election were held today...

This pic is from the AP from Sunday (surprised the lefties weren't all over this one)

[Tom]

I'm surprises, too, considering the total lack of common sense most lefties display. I suppose now you rise above it all and can tell by a photo what he was doing?

[JustRalph]

Looks to me like he needs an alka-seltzer

Hey, is that Mitt right behind Mr Palin?

The hair looks familiar...

[rastajenk]

Good thing he wasn't grabbing his crotch.

Certainly is, if you're jumping on that other guy's bandwaggon. Or did you miss the bit where I proved I was right and he was wrong? Maybe you could ask whichever grown-up is reading this to you to read it a little slower, so you can follow along more easily.
