Did you know that what kind of sports you like can give insight into your politics? Via the National Journal comes this neat chart:
Oh, and there’s one about beer from last month:
Speaking of beer, don’t forget to come out tonight and buy me one (or more, if you’re feeling generous) before I leave for the “belly of the beast.”

Well, I guess society is better off seeing what the folks with the lowest turnout are watching.
Ha, look at that WNBA spot. A little surprised the WWE and Euro soccer are even in ideology.
So basically, if you’re gullible enough to believe wrasslin’ is real, then you’re gullible enough to vote Democrat.
Is that the takeaway from the graph?
I think you may have rotated your screen 90 degrees. The WWE has the lowest turnout, it is not the most democratic leaning, that is the WNBA.
Another point: If you’re a conservative sports fan, you’re definitely voting.
I presume the size of circle equates to size of fan base? That poor little WNBA circle is barely bigger, if at all, than the Grand-Am Road Racing circle.
Is Grand-Am like IndyCar except not in a circle?
Is this the right place to ask people for white wine recommendations for my limousine driver to pick up on they way to the Atlanta Dream game?
I always have Jeeves get a box or two of Ripple. Grab a bendy-straw and you can drink it straight from the box!
Calypso, get some Boone’s Farm and another bendy-straw, and I’m in.
Will you bring the Cheetos? Puffed, not crunchy, please.
I’m a crunchy Cheetos junky, so I’ll have to bring a bag of each. Then I can watch you get the puffed ones stuck all in your teeth.
I swear, if you pulverized a whole bag of puffy Cheetos you wouldn’t fill a tablespoon. I guess their sole purpose is to have something to hold the flavoring other than air.
By the way, crunchy Cheetos go better with MD 20/20 and Thunderbird. The puffy ones go with the more delicate musings of Ripple and Boone’s Farm. But to each his own.
Hey now! Mad Dog – we’re getting to the really good stuff.
I resent the idea that soccer fans are closely aligned with wrestling fans.
My summer beer is fighting my winter beer.
The chart looks ok but the bookies and experts got chomped on two forecasts in Jacksonville:
The Dawgs and the weather …
Be interesting to see charts of charitable giving and net worth change/impact since entering public service.
Romney would be a stand out on charitable giving and net worth forfeited.
Forbes Oct. 22:
“Lots of people pay a high price for getting into politics, but no one has likely given up more, at least financially, than Mitt Romney. His decision to leave Bain Capital to pursue elected office cost him some $1.77 billion – personally – according to an analysis by Forbes. “
I guess I better stop watching WNBA over Heinikens.
