Great infographic about Congress from GOOD via SocImages over at The Society Pages. This explains a lot. (Clever Talking Heads reference, too.)

I had wondered why the blogger C.N., over at the color line blog on The Society Pages meta-blog had not put the issue at the very top of the post, very unbloggy-like and leaving us all to wonder. Now I understand that C.N. wants us to read through several runners-up for the decade’s most significant story on race and ethnicity. I concur with this choice and insightful analysis, which I commend to your more careful consideration.

Meet Charlie Baker, the Michael Scott of the Massachusetts gubernatorial race.
Baker, the presumptive Republican candidate, is making up for his 10-point lag in the polls by outspending Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick by nearly 2 to 1, spending $2 million since August, according to the Boston Herald.
He’s blown about a tenth of it on gimmicky parties: $1,000 for a mechanical bull rental, $4,000 on balloons and confetti, $1,500 for an American Gladiator-style jousting arena. He’s spent $196,000 on catering and room rentals for parties, almost $7,000 on lunches, $6,000 on a holiday party and $1,500 to have the New Black Eagle Jazz Band play at a fundraiser.
BTW, St. Anselm is in NH.
Tip ‘o’ the hat to rayspace.
