Well hot damn. This is a very, very visceral thing the Stamens have done. Seriously, MSNBC or some other smart outfit should simply retain them to do all (election, weather event, complex multivariate situation) graphics. It would change the everyday understanding of such events, I'd stake my last euro on it. [See also http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26295161?preferredName=Gustav ]
