apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

just read the thing about food and voting. easily one of the dumbest things i've ever read in the nytimes.

particularly:

For example, Dr Pepper is a Republican soda. Pepsi-Cola and Sprite are Democratic. So are most clear liquors, like gin and vodka, along with white wine and Evian water. Republicans skew toward brown liquors like bourbon or scotch, red wine and Fiji water.


whaaa....?

Someone must have been really bored to have thought up this one! Why would anyone need to know this? Seriously...

If this is all the media can come up with, we need to find some more scandalous politicians.

That said, if that cereal/candidate correlation is for real, I am apparently a walking, talking demographic. That's my cereal!

Soda preference is likely best explained regionally, not politically. For example, Dr Pepper is very popular in the south, a region that heavily votes Republican.

Well apparently my drink preferences are very Republican. Although no other part of me is.

Also, it seems like a weird time to be writing an article touting a method thought up by Mark Penn.

i'm sorry, but John McCain shown above a box of Fiber One cracks me up.

I had the exact same thought, esp. given his expression in that picture, leanne!
