A good friend recently sent me this remarkably appropriate cartoon:
Wanting to include proper attribution, I did a little research. Turns out that this is the work of David Sipress and it’s not at all new. In fact, the cartoon dates back to the Clinton administration and even Sipress doesn’t remember where it was originally published. Still, the work quite accurately describes my current state-of-mind and I had to share.
My absences from this blog have become more regular than my posts. I’ve certainly started multiple rants on topics too numerous to enumerate. Sadly, none even made it to a complete first draft. Such is life.
So, I thought perhaps I’d go back to the well of data analytics for a bit, retreating to a world that seems at least slightly sane to me. I’ve been building a rather large data set to support the analytics and I’ve been sporadically tweaking some models to use that data. Thus, my next few posts will hopefully take an updated look at the 2024 House, Senate, and Presidential races.
