I really do not like the Doctor title. However, the Mister title has its own implications for me.
Last night, John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight” did a piece on state legislatures. If I could embed YouTube clips into my research papers, I would, but for now I will use SteveRogers.info.
Last Week Tonight actually emailed me asking for some statistics. None were directly used in the piece, however the facts that no one runs against incumbent legislators; no one knows who their legislator is; and legislatures pass considerably more bills than Congress make appearances in Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the dissertation. Unfortunately, my email exchanges with Last week Tonight trailed off. If they would have continued, I would have suggested this clip
On a short note, I will try to update SteveRogers.info more frequently now that life has settled. As many readers likely know, it has been an interesting two years for Steve – who is finally a Billiken.

12 weeks? No way I can do that! What’s wrong with me?!
…I guess I should get back to that data work.
[EDIT] Quick Update!
Okay…Still not doing data work. But, it is pretty cool to use Google Analytics to see web traffic.
The above map are my visitors (all 4) in the minute after I posted to Facebook. Who is out there in Princeton? And is it Lindsey or Rich out in Denver?
For reference, here yesterday’s Billikens.com map…from Australia
The Hawaii State Legislature has never been controlled by Republicans.
