    Lance Armstrong - Arrogant?

    How many top athletes do you know whose demeanor wouldn't fit your eloquent description? Some I've known match it very closely. Others probably aren't so much arrogant as "focused" - they don't have time for distractions.

    I don't know Lance Armstrong. However, considering he's a fellow Texan, I want to assume that he's one of those
    "focused" ones.

    DC and the Rocky Mtn states seem like outliers to a trend (though the Rocky Mtns have their own trendline).
    The county by county breakdown and resulting poli sci dissertation are left as an exercise for the reader.

    The Shiner Bock belly part is well documented:

    Ranking 6th among US states in 2001 in Shiner Bock Belly Syndrome.

    The trends there may explain the growth in Masters racing...

    I think it's pretty obvious that Bush had a broader base of support.
    Especially when his supporters were sitting.

    I'll let someone else make a crack about weighted averages.

    Born in the East, attended boarding school in the East, then Yale, then Harvard. He's an Eastern blue blood from several generations of
    Eastern blue bloods. He skipped out on military service in Texas. He mismanaged multiple oil companies into failure, none of which were financed by his own money. It blows my mind how Texans enjoy claiming him as their own. Besides his adopted Crawford drawl, what is traditionally "Texan" about him?

    How interesting. What's the correlation with the data in this table?
