A couple more differences between red and blue America

There are many obvious differences between the residents of red and blue America. In red America, they like to shoot guns, execute people, and watch NASCAR. We in blue America like to drink wine, attend gay pride parades, and listen to NPR. But there are a couple of other notable differences in the news today-

• Because the Bush Administration has failed to act, a group of nine blue state governors has just reached an agreement to reduce power plant emissions in the Northeastern United States. Another three blue state governors from the west coast are in the early stages of a similar process.
  
• Obesity continues to rise and yes, red staters have a bit more heft.
