We Predict You Voted For Obama
We're 85% sure you voted for Obama.
You seem to fit the profile of a typical Obama voter.
We're not saying you should have (or shouldn't have) voted for him.
But if we had to place a bet, we'd guess you voted Obama this year.
Did You Vote for Obama or McCain?

How I'm doing/Main Topic: Freakonomics and why I'm still ok be currently childless
..."Not only does it measure their scores," said Dubner. "It also conducts extensive interviews with the families of the kids, so we know a lot about each family and what they do in the family."
What were some of the results? Take a look, and try to guess which factors correlate to higher test scores.
Ready? Being a mother over 30 strongly correlated to stronger test scores in her child, but taking time off to raise her child did not. Why? In "Freakonomics," Dubner and Levitt write that the older mother "tends to be a woman who wanted to get some advanced education or develop traction in her career. She is also likely to want a child more than a teenage mother wants a child." That seems reasonable enough, but why didn't it matter if the mother was home for the formative years? Dubner and Levitt say they can't find a logical reason. "That is what the data tell us," they write. - http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=1633286&page=1

Accomplishment:
Wells Fargo cash back rewards program paid to credit card: $740
Applied for Discover card. Wells Fargo credit card was charging me 24% interest for 800 = $20/month since June or July when my mortgage accidentally got pulled twice causing an overdraft and a cash advance. I got 0% until Dec 2009 on the balance.
Confessions:
I'm seriously considering a life of crime.
Thankful:
I am thankful for...
... 0% credit card transfers

- The mother was 30 or older when she gave birth to her first child.
- The mother left work to be with her child between birth and kindergarten.
