    Have his precious statistics told him to avoid going on camera?


    I swear, every time I've seen him punditting, he looks either stoned, underslept, or both.

    @Kid Twist: Why would anyone do that? Have you ever been to that strip-mall-and-townhouse hell that is Montgomery County, Md?


    There's a reason REM has a song called "Don't Go Back To Rockville".

    @OMG! Ponies!: If Montgomery County (which, by the way, isn't Washington D.C., and is quite lovely in most parts) is your vision of hell, I shudder at what you think of New Jersey and Nassau County. By your logic, do they taint NYC and make it unliveable, as well?

    How does he have 631 numbers but no 516? I don't know if having friends on eastern Long Island is really an incentive to move to Brooklyn, either.


    Somebody please explain if any of those Chicago area codes are too suburban to really count.

    @Kevin Bracken: 773 and 312 are the city. 630, 815, and 847 are the suburbs. 815 is the far suburbs, as in, in the last year, this land was covered by corn fields and now you live here.

    Is it coincidence he's moving to NYC just in time for Aqueduct season?


    if you ever see him hop the A train towards Howard Beach without any luggage, follow that man..

    That train stop (Aqueduct Racetrack) has to be the most depressing train station in the entire system.

    From what I've heard (on good authority) about Nate Silver, I don't think the translation is "I met a girl."
