Sorry if this belongs in the PF, but I don’t go there.

Here’s something I found interesting. Our Merrill Lynch office hosts a luncheon once a month for their clients and have different guest speakers. Back in August they had a speaker from American Funds that had an interesting stat regarding elections and the stock market according to their research.

Over the last 100 years, when Republicans are in office the stock market averaged an annual increase of 10.6%. When Democrats were in office it averaged 10.8%. If you take the Obama years out of the Democratic equation it averaged exactly the same as the Republican years 10.6%. Message was not to fret over the election as far as the stock/bond markets are concerned. At least in the long term because it didn’t seem to matter.

I don’t know how to verify it one way or the other.

I don’t know the GOP made in roads with Latinos and if they can continue the trend Texas should be ok.

The truth is the Latinos will be the majority in this country in 20 years so it’s in their best interest to wise up.
 
Amirite?: other upsets withstanding, the winners of UGA VS TENN and TEXAS VS TAMU will meet in the SECCCG?

Ford, I been meaning to post this for a few days: I read a story in the NYT Magazine a couple weeks back about the cheering industry. We all know how big it got back in the 90's when ESPN was carrying their competitions and such, with little women flying through the air. But the reality is that cheering was a male-dominated past time, starting around the Civil War and for half of the 20th century. It had its roots in military chants, which makes sense why it was popular at military schools. It wasn't until WWII, with a lot of young college-aged men off fighting in the war, that it became female dominated, just like manufacturing and lots of other things. Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan were all cheerleaders.

After the war, a Navy veteran named Lawrence Herkimer saw some potential in the female version of cheering, and created the National Cheerleaders Association. He also owns the patent on the pom-pom, and he created a jump named after him, called the "herkie," which is still used to this day. He was eventually eclipsed and bought out by a young man whom he had hired, Jeff Webb, who was a yell leader from the University of Oklahoma. Webb is credited with making cheering into a multi-billion dollar industry. The company he created, Varsity Spirit, holds a virtual monopoly over the cheering industry today. Webb is no longer involved -- the industry is held by private equity firms today because it is seen as such a good investment.

A&M is just one of the few places where they've stuck with tradition. I thought it was a fascinating article, even though your milkmen are still kinda ghey.
