The Bush Legacy In Graphics
The Bush Legacy In Graphics

A most cool visual depiction from the Atlantic. Article here. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200901/map-bush-years
The numbers that leapt out at me: From 2000 to 2008, the personal savings rate went from 2.3 percent to 0.6 percent, defense spending went from $381 billion to $671 billion, and the number of tummy-tucks tripled.

2. Some of those are rather nice.
Like acceptance of gays and Apple Market Capitalization.

Others have nothing to do with anything but the times...like hours of kids under 12 playing video games. Can you say "Nintendo Wii"?
