Hey, I'm only a vegetable, a lowly vegetable, but I know this...

This is absolute Crapola from a first grade mind. Any who have studied even the basics of stat know that an absolute 45 degree correlation (which this portrays), is pure fantasy on the part of the idiot who put this thing together.

This is exactly the type of ByullSheetStatistics that snake oil pollsters put together to further the likes of a Clinton or GoreWhore.

It takes more than a couple of weeks at a seminar for polling to learn the mathematical aspects of statistics and probabilities.

However, one FACTOR is always present these days for the party of Liars, that of the statistics being " SKEWED "...

Simply put, you cannot trust any silly simplistic poll put out by anyone anymore, if you do not know the minimum number of samples required for a T, Chi(square), or normal distribution.

Even if you do know the basics of random sampling, the difference between possibilities and probabilities is damn sure not known by the average semi-literate American citizen....

Example...." I, the math Vegetable, say that the Sun will rise tomorrow", (this one regardless of which horizon)...

Is this statement a (1)Fact, a (2)Prediction, a (3)Probability, a (4)Possibility, or just (5)a whimsy of Fantasy on the part of the author?

Are you, the "American People " going to yell "That's not fair!!", or are some, plenty, or all of you going to do the homework (if you do not already know the answer), and give a researched, scholastically sound answer?

Please respond, for I am going to plan my future growth on the answers.....

Registered gratiously posted this for me as I can do words but not pictures yet.

I received this from a friend and like you, believe all data is suspect, but data should lead to questions and questions should lead to the truth.

All I know is that I WANT TO BELIEVE IT AND WANT MY WIFE TO BELIEVE IT so that I can retire early and be done with the bs.

It does raise questions though. Are conservatives in a better position to retire early? If so, when they do retire will they have more time than they do now to get more actively involved? Time is a big constraint in everyones life. Seems like liberals have a lot of time to promote their lies.

Hey, onions and garlic are pretty high on the food pyramid at our house. But an onions work is never done.

The use of the words "statistics" and "skewed" in the same sentence is redundant. I refer to a university that is very strong in statistics, sociology, finance, and economics as "Skew U."............
