Nice job of making every other line on the list unreadable. You're a real "designer", dude. It isn't about presenting information in a useful way, it's about making pretty pretty.

You all are stupid, this was a hoax. Just cuz you see something doesn't mean that it is 100% true or accurate.

The sky is falling! So therefore it must be. Yeah, its funny, maybe if you are a democrat with an axe to grind against Bush.. but other than that... its plain stupid.

Survey after survey showed that college graduates, with at least a bachelors degree, voted in favor of Bush while high school dropouts voted in favor for Gore. Gore did win the post-graduate votes though.

In case you don't know already know, the data in the IQs are fake. Interesting to see how the fact that the table matches various prejudices (smart people voted for Bush, people in the south have lower IQs than the north etc) allows us to uncritically accept the data.
