The regional pop vs soda war, now mapped out. What do YOU call it? Are you a product of geography?
And in case you were wondering, some of the "others": drinky winky, enamelade, soda pop, cola, fizzy juice, Friggin' Sodee Pop, corn drink, liquid diabetes.
It's going to be a long election.

On a related note, who wants to bet me that someone on Fox News will lose it altogether and use the n-word to describe Obama? Any takers?
But let's put this one in the dipshit file, shall we?
9th Circuit's chief judge posted sexually explicit matter on his website
One of the highest-ranking federal judges in the United States, who is currently presiding over an obscenity trial in Los Angeles, has maintained a publicly accessible website featuring sexually explicit photos and videos.
Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledged in an interview with The Times that he had posted the materials, which included a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows and a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal. Some of the material was inappropriate, he conceded, although he defended other sexually explicit content as "funny."
Kozinski, 57, said that he thought the site was for his private storage and that he was not aware the images could be seen by the public, although he also said he had shared some material on the site with friends.
Taco Bell's latest kids' meal campaign is taking a very interesting approach to education - some kid named Todd is learning some very important life lessons from his talking piñata. My favorite book of the bunch pictured here - talking Tolerance. Tolerance of what? Getting repeatedly whacked with a stick?
I just read about these Hitler Downfall remix memes a week ago (btw, if you have not seen Downfall it's a pretty disturbing and extraordinary movie), and since then have been forwarded a half dozen of 'em. At first I was morally indignant - of the "How dare they" and "People are so disrespectful" variety - but the more I watched the more it gave me a little dose of glee to see Das Fuhrer co opted, satirized and de-hot aired. So in the Rickrolling spirit, here's the best of the bunch: Hitler Plans Burning Man.
"I love the mix of crowds here," said Bush. "Pamela Anderson and Mitt Romney in the same room. Isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse?"
From the day job: I wander over to Rockefeller Center and witness the reunion of New Kids on the Block on the Today show.
Most surprising thing: The number of people who were excited about the news in a seemingly sincere and non-ironic way.
Second most surprising thing: That NKOTB would draw a crowd of several hundred people at 8 o'clock on a rainy, crappy, cold morning. And that I would be one of them.
Most disappointing thing: No one (at least that I saw) was wearing a T-shirt that read "Home Boy," a la the "Hangin' Tough" video.
Apparently, my hometown is one of the most vulnerable spots in the U.S. for terrorist attacks.
SEATTLE -- People in Boise, Idaho, have taken pride in favorable lifestyle rankings their city has picked up recently: No. 2 on Forbes' best places for business and careers; No. 9 on Inc.com's hottest cities for entrepreneurs; No. 1 National Geographic adventure town; and No. 8 on Money magazine's best places to live.
But one title startled and baffled nearly everyone: city most vulnerable to terrorism in the Western United States.... "Everybody was surprised," said Charles McClure, a spokesman for the Boise Police Department. "Basically, we don't understand how they arrived at that conclusion."
... "It surprised us too," said researcher Walter W. Piegorsch, a mathematics professor at the University of Arizona, coauthor of "Benchmark Analysis for Quantifying Urban Vulnerability to Terrorist Incidents."
Let's leave aside, for a moment, the fact that most Americans can't
find Boise on a map, let alone foreign terrorists. Let's leave aside,
for a moment, the fact that there are more guns than people there.
I think it's more important to realize that they just repelled a horde of zombies marching through the city.
Terrorists? Please.
Someone simply must try out for Paris Hilton's new reality show, Paris Hilton's My New BFF. In particular, I think Leslie and Mayrav would be EXCELLENT choices. No way would they let homegirl leave the house without her undies on.
