Unless I'm reading something on your graph incorrectly it's almost perfectly correlated with Martha Stewart Living subscribers. Looks like it applies almost exactly to me.
Also, there's no correlation with voter intimidation and population density for cities in the midwest.
So I guess it's just my word and my graph against your word and, well, nothing else. So you better get to work!
I do not agree that the graphs look identical.
What point am I trying to make, BTW?
