The intersection of people for whom this makes sense is probably fairly low, but I just had a minor epiphany: Nate Silver is Jeremy from Sports Night. That's why fivethirtyeight.com was so awesome last year. It was channeling Aaron Sorkin from both directions.

This is the best thing I have read all day.

Now I need a Jeremy icon.

Haven't seen Sports Night yet, but we've worn out some of our West Wing DVDs (the two-sided season 1 and 2 ones). I take it that Jeremy was the stats geek, and played by Joshua Malina?
