I pass by three Starbucks on my 15 mile commute.
Easy Bake. Flop-a-palooza. Woosh. Pop. I don't skulk.

One of the less American parts of the country?
I think it's the other way around. The fewer the Starbucks, the more "real American" your town is.

Oh, man. I knew when he went home that Toot wasn't going to live long, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one hoping for just two more days.
Jesus. Wow, that's really, really sad.
Relatedly, I heard on NPR that Studs Terkel had said he hoped to live long enough to see the results of the election, and he got his absentee ballot in the mail the day he died.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

so sad about Obama's grandmother. I was really hoping she'd make it through tomorrow. At least he got to see her last week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All of this.
My boyfriend Nate Silver does the Starbucks:Wal-Mart ratio when he's looking at states for tendencies. Edit: Sorry, those are the Sean Quinn posts on fivethiryeight, not the Nate Silver posts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I love this. Especially when he got to Vermont, which went something like "Vermont doesn't actually have a Wal-Mart. And they only have like two Starbucks. This should not be considered a valid sample."
(But it's Sean, the other 538 guy, who does the state writeups.)

Vermont doesn't actually have a Wal-Mart.
How unreal American can you get?
