Las Vegas Slots vs Electronic Voting Machines

Stop the linkjacking! The Las Vegas Slots vs. Voting Machines graphic is good enough that its creators deserve credit. Here's the orginal, with a link to the book it's based on (in comments).

Median age of FOX News viewers: over 65. Average age of conservative talk radio listeners: 67. They're shouting so loudly because they're desperate to convince us that their xenophobia, racism, and sexism are something other than a relic of another era. Don't let them drag us back there.

How many of you guys/girls wish this person was our president right now...
