In university I learned about a statistical tool called the “correlation coefficient", which is a measure of relationship between two sets of data. Without getting into the messy statistics, take a look at this link that shows and discusses the correlation between voter IQ and the candidate they voted for. You can also click on the thumbnail to see the summary. It’s a good thing that Bush wants to improve education.

Another funny article reports that web site traffic for the Department of Citizen and Immigration Canada shot up by a factor of six after the announcement of Bush’s win.

[Update: Apparently this IQ vs voter thing is a hoax.]
