« Opinions <> Science | Main | The CIA Game » December 06, 2004Springfield's VotersVia Moira Breen I found this amusing piece discussing how many residents of Springfield, the home of television's The Simpsons, might have voted in the 2004 election. It's quite amusing, although it's clear the author isn't quite as familiar with the Simpsons as he needs to be to make the calls; as Moira notes, we know that Krusty is a Republican, for example. But it's still worth a read. To address the early question of the article, the location of Springfield is actually pretty obvious if you're familiar with the show. We know it's on a coast. We also know that they live someplace close to where you can find Saguaro cactus. Those two facts are sufficient to place Springfield in southern California, probably somewhere between San Diego and Los Angeles.Posted at December 6, 2004 01:02 AM
Comment policyI apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.
