When Republicans Became ‘Red’ and Democrats Became ‘Blue’

The 2000 presidential election cemented the color-coded nature of political parties. Prior to that race, the colors were often reversed on electoral maps
Two days after voters went to the polls on November 7, 2000, the Times and USA Today published their first color-coded, county-by-county maps detailing the showdown between Gore and Bush. Both papers used red for the Republican Bush and blue for the Democrat Gore.
Why?
“I just decided ‘red’ begins with ‘r,’ ‘Republican’ begins with ‘r.’ It was a more natural association,” said Archie Tse, then a senior graphics editor at the Times, in 2012. “There wasn’t much discussion about it.”
Also in 2012, Paul Overberg, a database editor who designed the map for USA Today, said he was following a trend: “The reason I did it was because everybody was already doing it that way at that point.”
And everybody had to continue doing it for a long time. The 2000 election dragged on until mid-December, when the Supreme Court stopped the vote recount in Florida and handed the presidency to Bush. For weeks, the maps were ubiquitous.
Perhaps that’s why the 2000 colors stuck. Along with images of Florida elections officials eyeballing tiny chads on paper punch-card ballots, the maps were there constantly, reminding viewers of the vast, nearly even divide between red and blue voters.
From an aesthetic standpoint, the current color scheme fits with the political landscape, Overberg said. Republicans typically dominate in larger, less populated states in the Plains and Mountain West, meaning the center of the United States is very red. “If it had been flipped, the map would have been too dark,” he explained. “The blue would have been swamping the red. Red is a lighter color.”
But not everyone liked the shift. Republican operative Clark Bensen criticized the change in a 2004 essay titled “Red State Blues: Did I Miss That Memo?”

God. I can only imagine.
The few near-misses I've had with flooding since I've been here have left quite a mess to clean up, and you don't even want to know what I dragged out from behind the basement walls when I bought the place.
They're going to be finding mold with every color in the rainbow. Stay away from all of it, but especially the black stuff.
If you're young, looking for a job and you've held a hammer once in your life, I bet you could make a pretty quick buck down there right now. The Federal Government is probably going to be up everyone's asses like they were with the rescue efforts though, so watch yourself.

Firefighters currently landscapers, spending their time clearing dry brush away from PCH in Santa Monica. Palisades fire only 2 miles away, so they have to do State Garden Park service that was not already done, it’s absolute madness that precious resources to save people are still going to basic landscaping management.
