The Red State/Red Meat Correlation

posted by on November 1 at 14:54 PM

Do Democrats eat more sushi? And do closeted homosexuals, I mean Republicans, eat more steak? The Dept. of Heuristics at Urbanspoon World Headquarters (right here in Seattle) is asking the important questions. Look and learn (or look and be confused, depending on your facility with graphs).

Some additional findings:
• “steak doesn’t necessarily make you fatter”
• “it appears that eating sushi makes you slightly better looking, statistically speaking”

So it’s settled: Democrats are better looking than Republicans.

Hungry, good-lookin’ Seattle Democrats: Here’s where to get the best sushi. (I also just went to Kappo—the new omakase-only Japanese place in Fremont owned by the Chiso people—at $100 per person for food only, my preliminary findings are: not worth it.)

Hungry Seattle Republicans: You suck, probably literally, but Tamarind Tree does not.

Talk about the most stupid, silly, inane, extrapolated, and juxtaposition of non sequiturs, this slog post wins the prize.

Why the fuck is our rate of bush voting higher than DC, Chicago, NYC, Boston and San Francisco?

Too many white people.

No Republican out-steaks me.

I think they used election results by county, so what they are calling Seattle would actually be King County.

either way, DC, Chicago and Miami are ugly outliers.

That is a poorly formulated "graph".

Um. There's statistics. And then there's trying to find data correlations on things that may both be symptoms of other things.

Seattle rules!

and I agree about Vancouver BC being the place to go, IMHO.

What's the red-state/blue-state breakdown on Islay malts versus Speyside malts? Pie vs. cake? White meat vs. dark? Saxophone vs. trumpet? Left tit vs. right?

A year and a half later, do you still think Saito/Shiro/Nishino is the holy sushi trinity...? I think Mashiko pwns the competition.

Another reason I will be drawn and quartered before I live in any city in Texas. Yes, even you, Austin - what the fuck are y'all doing in Texas? GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE ALREADY!

I used to live on a farm in Arlington, TX - and long before that at a USAF base near the Alamo.

But I left, does that count?

for #10:

personal take:
speyside
pie
dark
left tit always, until right gets jealous, then it's back and forth, like pac-man 'tween two ghosts.

or converse on all counts, when drunky-poo.

forgot one:
sax or trumpet = either, could go both ways....

You have to admit that Ronald Reagan was better looking than any of the Democrat presidents; after all he was a Warner Brother's leading guy for a long time - and almost got the role of Rick in Casablanca.

I take issue with the Kappo diss. It is expensive, but most definitely worth it. A once in a while treat with (slightly) better quality than Shiro's and WAY better ambiance.

Kappo rules. It doesn't get any better. It's my new favorite special occasion restaurant. I want to have babies with it.

... and furthermore: Kappo thought you were dumb and didn't want you to come back anyway.

Taichi is my hero.

Why must sushi be made with vinegar? When it's not, I love it, but I only find that when family or friends makes it and I can tell them to leave it out.
