A map of the 50 states redrawn based on population has fascinated me. Mainly because the state of New Mexico gets obliterated into 4 other new states. It looks like Albuquerque and Rio Rancho get put into Llano Estacdo or “Staked Plains“.
It’s a suggestion by fakeisthenewreal.org to improve the electoral college system.
Rather than replacing a time honored system that, after all, has only broken down three times in over 200 years, the organization of the states should be altered. In 2000, the Census Bureau determined the United States population to be 281,421,906, distributed in 50 states and one federal district. The states ranged in population from to 493,782 (1) to 33,871,648 (2). This Electoral Reform Map redivides the territory of the United States into 50 bodies of equal size – 281,421,906 divided by 50 is 5,616,997. This map shows one possible way to redraw the fifty states (3).
I’m the official turkey cooker and carver this year and therefore interested in Alton Brown’s video on YouTube on how to carve a turkey. His suggestion is to place the turkey on a cutting board, using a towel as traction, and to cut out each of the main parts of the turkey.
Ooohhhhh, now they’re going to get it. Better yet, I liked the suggestion I heard to just fire everyone at FEMA (of course, I’m talking management here).
President George W. Bush pledged on Tuesday to review what went wrong in the initial response to Hurricane Katrina but resisted any immediate probe and lawmakers launched an investigation of their own.
I understand that he wants to place blame later, but he always looks like he’s trying to cover something up when he avoids doing something like a “probe.”
Since getting a DV camera last year I now have quite a few DV tapes and I’m not exactly sure what is on them. I’m looking for a program to organize and catalog the video from the tapes. I will be trying out a few and posting my review on my webstie. If you have a suggestion for your favorite program please let me know.
