That darn old arithmetic


Posted: Sep 11, 2012

Has He!! frozen over?  (Fox and Friends) 

The show's mistake was to compare the official unemployment figure in 2009 with the so-called "real" unemployment figure in 2012. That figure takes into account data which is not included in the official number, such as people who have stopped looking for work. Thus, it is always higher than the official figure. (Official unemployment is actually .3 percentage points higher than in 2009, while "real" unemployment is .7 percentage points lower.

Fox News told Mediaite that a correction will air on tomorrow's "Fox & Friends."

That pesky old apples and oranges thing.  I am going to have to record this one.  It will probably be worth something on the collector's market.

what's that they always say?  Their heads are exploding?  I hope they have a supple of aspirin.

I'll give them a pass.

I don't watch Fox & Friends.... The people on it give me hives. But all in all, I think legitimate Fox NEWS casts are one of the accurate news sources on television.

Let me look.... Nope, my brain's not melting yet.

I just have to tell you about my stepfather's pets!  They are just like my own.

We have a "secret clap" that I give when I ...

Tea Party smarter than average. Dan Kahan, the Elizabeth K. Dollard Professor of Law and Professor of Psychology at Yale Law School was curious about the relationship between ”science comprehension“ and political outlooks. His findings shocked him: tea party supporters are actually more scientifically literate than the non-tea party population I’ve got to confess, though, I found this result surprising. As I pushed the button to run the analysis on my computer, I fully expected I ...
