This map, based on the always-impeccable stats of Nate Silver (dreamy!), shows when we can expect gay marriage to finally be legal all across the Union. See you at the big party sometime between 2021 and 2024, if the world hasn't ended by then.

A profile of the radio host-turned-Nate Silver basher by the late David Foster Wallace. Wallace gives the man a lot more thought and sympathy than he deserves, which is why DFW was DFW and John Ziegler is a blowhard.
Politics Buzz Stats nerd/genius Nate Silver (of Baseball Prospectus and FiveThirtyEight) is making the rounds as the interest in election stats grows. He was on The Colbert Report last night, and FiveThirtyEight remains one of our favorite sites to check when the latest news about the Dow has us down.
