The Moo Vote: I'm really tired of conservatives touting these color-coded maps showing how many counties Bush won in the United States. USA Today shows that Bush got about 3-million square miles opposed to Kerry's half million. And somehow righties translate this into a greater mandate for the president.

See those blue dots on the map? Those make up most of the largest population centers of the United States. Yes, large groups of people tend to live in bunches here. It's a curious habit of humans, but that's just the way it is.

There isn't much in most of those Red Counties. That map really doesn't tell me anything, other than that if cows could vote, Republicans would have it made.
