Scary info-tainment

The political season of yesteryear saw a very successful southern businessman, big-eared with a very pronounced drawl and down-home anecdotes, capture 19% of the vote in the 1992 US presidential election. Relive those glory years, or at least the scary charts, at http://perotcharts.com/.

Unfortunately, not much has changed since those scary pics were made public. The charts have been updated from the ones shown on TV back then, and the data is just as scary if not more so. Whomever the eventual winner of this election will surely have his work cut out for him. I hope something changes from the path we're on right now -- for all of our sakes.
