RUSH: I have to tell you, whether she knows it or not, it's over for Hillary Clinton. I don't know if that means she doesn't get the nomination or if she does and doesn't win the general.
This woman last night on her stage was just a sight to behold, parroting Bernie Sanders, calling herself the latest big, new "progressive," talking about the same things Bernie's talking about. Because last night in Iowa was the shock and the scare of her life. It's 2008 all over again. "This is not supposed to happen," Mrs. Clinton's saying. I don't know if you've seen this in the television coverage of Mrs. Clinton's speech last night. She did not declare victory, by the way. And they are still saying in some places it's too close to call.
How can that be?
How can it still be too close to call?
I mean, if it's still too close to call, it means they're playing games out there on the Democrat side. Of course you've heard about the fact that Hillary won six coin flips in a row? You know what the odds of that are? It's 1.7%. It doesn't happen. Anyway, I watched television coverage of Mrs. Clinton's acceptance last night and there's this guy that ends up being over her right shoulder as you're looking at the picture, and he's got two stickers on each cheek right below each eye, and he's making weird, odd faces. It turns out this guy has become a hero of the Internet today because people are replaying this and sending it, tweeting it, Facebooking it all over the place.
It's a comedy piece. Some guy stands there with Hillary stem-winder serious and telling everybody what she's gonna do. She's doing the Hillary screech, the voice that reminds you of your first two ex-wives. This guy's back there with these stickers on his face laughing and making faces, totally distracting everybody, and then if you notice Bill Clinton behind her. And that was... What's the word? I was gonna say "scary," but, no, it was shocking the way Bill Clinton looked last night. It's clearly not the 1990s, and there aren't a bunch of bikini-clad babes running...
Well, there might still be that. With Bill Clinton, you never know.

The math can predict nothing.
It will always be 50-50 no matter how many times it is done.
I missed your reply yesterday.
My blood pressure has a hair trigger.
I tried Viagra and one other med but my blood pressure went through the roof. I actually thought I would have to go to the ER.
Docs told me that I would have problems but gave me a script w/o refill.
The wife and I decided it was better to leave well enough alone.
The probability of rolling one six-sided die, landing with a one (snake eye) = P(rolling one snake eye) = 1/6 = 0.16667.
The probability of rolling two six-sided dice, coming up snake eyes =
P(rolling snake eyes) = 1/36 = 0.027778. That’s exactly the same as the probability of rolling one die twice, landing with a one on each roll.
P(rolling two successive ones) = (1/6)^2 = 0.027778.
The probability of rolling two six-sided dice, coming up snake eyes four times in succession =
P(rolling four consecutive sets of snake eyes) = (1/36)^4 = (1/6)^8 = 1/1,679,616 = 5.95374E-07 = 0.000000595374.
That’s fewer than six chances in ten million; 1,679,615-to-1.
The probability of rolling two six-sided dice, coming up snake eyes ten times in succession =
P(rolling ten consecutive sets of snake eyes) = (1/36)^10 = (1/6)^20 = 1/3,656,158,440,062,980.
That’s one chance in 3.656 quadrillion.
The probability of rolling two six-sided dice, coming up snake eyes 1,000 times in succession =
P(rolling 1,000 consecutive sets of snake eyes) = (1/36)^1000 = a number so infinitesimal as to be indistinguishable from zero, having no meaning in the physical world. You can roll the dice until long after the heat death of the universe without seeing that result.
Nothing dictates what the dice will turn up as.
>> You can roll the dice until long after the heat death of the universe without seeing that result.
Odds are, you can. :-)
But the same can be said of any combination of 1,000 dice rolls.
Yet ONE of them will occur after only 1000 rolls.
Isn’t probability fun?
