An article and a poll

[maystone]

The poll first. PBS has a poll up asking simply whether or not you believe that Sarah Palin is qualified to be Vice President: yes or no. Unbelievably, it now stands at 50% yes and 48% no. So, please go vote.

The article is about a social psychology report on how each state ranks on several aspects such as extraversion, neuroticism, openness and two others. There's an interactive map, too. It cracks me up that New England is the least neurotic region of the States. Go, New England, with your mentally healthy selves :)

ETA: I've updated the link to the poll, so if you tried and couldn't get through, try again, please. Apparently the GOP had put the word out about the poll, so they've been flooding the site. Go get 'em!

I bet it's 'cause we get out all our aggression on the highways. :)

Massholes!!!

Still, New England is open, introverted, and non-neurotic. That's a winning combo to me!

Oh, and, maystone, your Palin link is not working, but I went to the site to vote. It's http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html.

Thanks, brighty; I've updated the links. And thank you for voting!

Gatechen! How are you, honey? I've been meaning to nudge you, but I can't figure out how to do it. D'oh.

And I think that you're right about the driving :)

I'm... hanging in there. Very busy, very tired and kind of hermit-y at the moment.

I had a little Pushing Daisies marathon of the 1st season this weekend and am very very excited for the new eps. I've missed my Emerson Cod!

Er, actually I think it says that New England is one of the more neurotic areas... (But not as neurotic as NY. ;)

Yeah, that's how I read it, too. The lower your number, the higher you ranked. A state with a neuroticism rating of 1 would be the most neurotic state in the nation.

Like anyone in New England would confess neuroses to a researcher.
