Samuel Clemens persuaded President Grant to write his memoirs which made his wife wealthy after his death.
Grant was penniless after making some bad investments.
Another dumbass post that is totally meaningless to 99.99% of us who clicked the link.
Are you really that obtuse?
There is absolutely no context in the article. What is the lawsuit about? Who is the judge? Why is he sitting on the case? Who or what is he trying to protect?
As jacknhoo said, obtuse.
There are those here that are upset about corruption and voter fraud in Georgia. And then, there are those here that are upset about clicking a link that didn’t “supply” enough info. Ignore the latter...
really that obtuse ?

Judge sports the Marxist goatee ta boot.
the original quote was ‘There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.’
i got it last from an engineering text on Baysian probablity and statistics by D. S. Sivia, i’m re-reading.
according to him, Twain used it when ‘he reiterated Disraeli’s famous remarks.’
hopefully Sivia got it all right. of course, i’ve heard heard he quote many times from many different sources.
In the digital and Fake News world we've evolved into, Twain's remarks appear even more prescient than they were more than 100 years agp.
Today, wrapping lies in a statistical robe is the way "journalism" and statecraft are done.
