Red States Win! Lead the Country in Divorce, Porn & Teen Moms

Accompanying a none-too-revelatory article (politicians, particularly Republicans, are moral hypocrites) by NYT "visual Op-Ed columnist" Charles Blow, is an intriguing chart. It shows that states that voted for McCain are far more likely to have more teenager mothers, online porn subscriptions & divorces, per capita than those who voted for Obama.

Ohio shakes out in the bottom half of the divorce and pregnancy numbers and has the fourth lowest porn subscription rate (don't tell Phil Burress).

Not a moral hyprocrisy, but worth mentioning, is that 26 of the 31 states that voted for Bush in 2004 receive more federal money than they pay in taxes. Meanwhile, 2/3rds of the states that voted for Kerry pay more than they receive.

We are seeing the impact of repression

I would like to see this study expanded to examine the incidence of clergy having illicit affairs with men/boys -- or at least hiking the Appalachian Trail.
