That's a really nice piece of work, Pete. One of my favorites, a factoid that turned up during the 2004 conventions in some place like Harper's or Atlantic, was a survey that showed the most complaints about shows like "Dangerous Housewives" came from red states -- which also had the highest viewership of that series. Hypocrisy seems to be the real "base" of the reds.
Thanks for comment. I'm linking to your post on Daniels. I appreciate your work!
