Religious Intensity Remains Powerful Predictor of Politics

PRINCETON, NJ — Americans’ religious intensity continues to be a major predictor of party identification. A new analysis of more than 29,000 interviews Gallup conducted in November finds that Republicans outnumber Democrats by 12 percentage points among Americans who are classified as highly religious, while Democrats outnumber Republicans by 30 points among those who are not religious.

My Fourth Christmas Card of 2009

Over the weekend I received a Christmas card from David of Mesquite, TX.  I’m always a sucker for Snoopy and Charlie Brown, and this card totally cracked me up.

But not only did I appreciate David’s card, but he provided me with a coupon that totally got my attention:

WifeGeeding and I both had a good laugh with the coupon, one that I plan on using before the end of the year.  Thanks, David.

Wanna join in on the fun and send me card so I can add to the total?  Come on, send me some Christmas cheer. You can even do it for free, just click here.

Bag of Randomness

  • There have now been two Cowboys games that were played in the new stadium with the roof open during the daytime.  I was wondering if there would be any weird shadows cast on the field with the screen and all, after all, that was one problem with Texas Stadium.  But it appears that the field is so far below ground level (three stories) that it really isn’t a problem.  There are some small lights spots from the windows, but overall the field looks great during the afternoon with the roof open.
  • How is it I didn’t hear a thing about about the second half of the game being broadcasted in 3-D on the Jerry-tron?
  • I’m surprised Jerry wasn’t on the field when Ware got hurt, and it was almost comical when CBS showed Jerry with both hands over his face during the injury.
  • Personally, I would rather see Jason Garret gone before Wade Phillips.  Fourth and one on the goal and you want linemen to pull?
  • I think I miss Texas Stadium.
  • “I would turn in all three Super Bowl rings and my Hall of Fame bust for one undefeated season.” Michael Irvin
  • I wonder if there are any kids that attend an NFL game for the first time that are surprised the yellow first down doesn’t really display on the field.  It’s kind of hard to believe we’ve had that line now for over a decade.
  • There’s just something about the NFL cheerleader in the Santa outfits, but the Cowboys Cheerleaders’ outfits don’t look quit right.
  • My latest addiction is Einstein Bros bagels.  I love it that they call their cream cream “shmear.”
  • James Cameron’s Avatar sure does look interesting and I’m glad someone is actually bringing something original to the movie screen.
  • I was talking to the manager who mentioned that a Einstein Bros store somewhat recently opened in Tyler and on its first day sold over $7,000 in bagels.  That’s a lot of bagels.
  • AskMen.com has compiled the top ten video game weapons – I’m glad to see that the Contra Spread Gun made the list, but was surprised there was no Halo entries.
  • Speaking of Halo, check out this review – I recommend watching it in HD.
  • Ben Franklin was a very wise man, I definitely follow his advice
