Sorry to break your heart Dodd, but Aretha is a Democrat. In fact, she was the featured performer at Obama’s inaugural.

#eyeroll indeed!
Do you actually read the things you reference???
A study on the importance of Fourth of July celebration participation for children to the political leanings in adulthood? That uses, as a proxy for participation in these celebrations, a record of how often it rained on July 4th over a number of years???? And tries to link that to voter registration numbers a generation later???
This was from the Onion, right?
