Our Democrats are blue in the face from talking so much, and our Republicans are red in the face from talking so much.

Not the present-day Conservatives.

But the PCs, yes. Remember Red Tories? Definitely to the left of the Dems, especially present-day Democrats.

What the heck is that even trying to say? Ed Tufte is puking at the mere concept of that image.

Oh I think I have a hypothesis:

  1. British soldiers in the American Revolution wore red

  2. North Americans who supported the British were aligned with the Tories

  3. The Tories are also known as the Conservative Party

The chart is flawed.

Who espouses education?

Who relegates education to the “family”?

There’s yer morons.

But should we order lunch from a Leader or a Visionary? I got food poisoning the last time I went with a Niche Player, so that’s out; but we still have to decide here…

Agreed. Lunch is far too important an occasion to be left in the hands of someone who unironically mentions the Magic Quadrant.

Gartner filed a motion to dismiss by claiming First Amendment protection since it contends that its MQ reports contain “pure opinion,” which legally means opinions which are not based on fact.

(From Wiki.) Exactly how would someone take market researchers seriously if they have to defend themselves in court by saying “That’s just like our opinion, man.”


For the record, I am mystified by the power donut.

Maybe power donut is something like a power sausage (ohmimakkara in Finnish)…

It’s just a regular-sized donut in a box next to a Trump-hand.
