Grand Old Party

“Grand Old Party” is a data visualization project. It is also a set of butt plugs. Each shape is determined by voter approval ratings amongst registered republican voters for each of the GOP presidential candidates. The height is a measurement of time, beginning December 10, 2011 and ending on April 1, 2012 (bottom to top). The width of each object is the quantity by percentage (out of 100%) of approval for that candidate. All data comes directly from Gallup polls.

L’idée de rajouter des mots clefs valait le coup, rien que pour ce billet.

Oh mais voilà qui complètera à ravir mon shopping …

(il semble par ailleurs que les “mots clefs” n’apparaissent pas sur la racine embruns.net mais uniquement lors d’un accès direct à un jour ou un billet. Etonnant non ?)

Blah ? Touitter !

Cattle walking the last mile to this slaughterhouse are treated to this dazzling, but incongruous display of light before the end in Gross-Umstadt near Darmstadt, West Germany, on November 29, 1962. The chandelier came from a nearby factory that didn’t have room to assemble it there, so they decided to assemble it in this slaughterhouse. The name of the Arab ruler who ordered the 532 bulb chandelier made up of 200,000 separate parts is a secret. Also, a secret is the price he paid for it.
