    Along with RE ;-), people need better educating in statistics and how to interpret them (that goes for the UK too). Starting with how to assess the validity of the data being analyzed.

    Having not heard of ORCA and just googled, I assume the post about it is a proof that Americans DO do irony?

    President Romney is in the Oval Office even as we speak. Already he’s cancelled the Senate (though for some odd reason he kept the House).

    Here come the fact checkers again….Ohio was a 68% turnout. No county turned out more than 77%. This was less than the last two elections at 70%. http://www.cleveland.com/datacentral/index.ssf/2012/11/ohio_voting_registration_and_2.html

    Now it all fits. Walmart was a big Republican supporter.

    The Democrats are not interested in taking care of us like children. They just want to have a more level playing field for those who don’t have any Romney family $ to borrow from. Vote Democratic— the a$$ you save may be your own.

    It seems . . . that over the last few years . . . whipped on by Fox LimBeck, the ‘right’ has drifted further and further right into cloud cuckoo land and irrelevance. The ‘left’ has moved to the right, to colonize this newly created vacuum and occupy the center . . . and even center-right.It seems that today, the only available ‘real estate’ for a true opposition party . . . is to the left of the Democratic Party!

    Like many things concerning the far right, the secession movement is a joke. It is a tiny group of people who have been experiencing an extreme case of sour grapes.

    Hey! Wyoming contains Old Faithful! And wild buffalo bison herds! And stacked-up fossil forests! And . . . . An’ you want Billow and Rash and Rmoney to have it?

    50th State Hawaii also contains a memorial to Pearl Harbor:

    “On the morning of December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise air attack on the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. After just two hours of bombing, more than 2,400 Americans were dead, 21 ships* had either been sunk or damaged, and more than 188 U.S. aircraft destroyed.”

    http://history1900s.about.com/od/worldwarii/a/Attack-Pearl-Harbor.htm

    I would suggest a colony on Mars. Only some, a few, among the card-carrying members of the extreme reichwing “white power” neo-nazi movement in America — whom I call the “science fantasy” faction — already dream of such a separation (for blue-eyed Aryans only that is).

    Hey Garry, you’re full of crap!!

    The reason why Obama won the election is because “Free Stuff” has replaced freedom & Obama said he will try to pass the “dream act” for anybody illegal (That doesn’t follow the rules) can be a US citizen, thus makin minorities mindless zombies (Without thinking on their own) automatic voters for democrats. My relative said "Romney is going to win, I just know it, but I had slight doubts because people like Garry Trudeau, and the media, are LAP DOGS for Obama, not WATCH DOGS in which the media is supposed to do! And what did you know, I was right!!!

    Now, we are going to Obama Care in which it’s going to be like Europe (Libs love Europe and just want to be like them) like Banning guns in which that guy in Norway still killed 70 people! Hostess Bakeries is out of business, along with Boeing layoffs, do you see any “change” coming about. I’m a retired AF VET and I can some benefits, but giving an illegal Mexican alien FREE COLLEGE TUITION, while I saved my money in service for mine! I busted my butt trying to better myself!

    Acutally, I think you libs and prgressives are living in a dream world. I’ve pinched myself, and I’m living in reality.You call me a racist, fine, I see black and hispanic rascists all the time. Oh yeah, I’ve take my meds. Listen to me!

    “… the looters now outnumber the producers in America .…” — Travis Bickel (in this thread, search above to find).

    I feel like amending my post (above) to Donald Ostrem. I told him that “the wealthy, plutocratic, leisure class” “rides on the backs of the hardworking American.”

    I said, "They call themselves “job creators” and “makers” while dismissing the real laborers and hardworkers (such as yourself if you’re telling the truth) as “takers”, “moochers”, “whiners”, etc.

    My revised statement now reads:

    “They call themselves “job creators”, “producers”, and “makers” while dismissing the real laborers and hardworkers (such as yourself if you’re telling the truth) as “takers”, “moochers”, “whiners”, “looters”, etc.

    Thanks, Trav, for helping me to strengthen my point.

    In 46 states and the District of Columbia, President Obama did worse in 2012 than he did in 2008, winning by less or losing by more. The vote in most counties, too, shifted to the political right.

    how do you like that math!

    Actually, Faux News’ showing of the Scary Black Panther in ONE Philadelphia voting precinct stopped white voters from coming out in WI, CO, MN, NV, IA,OH, NH, and PA. If there had been two, like 4 years ago, Obama would have won IN and NC.

    BTW, Kim has a nice rack.

    how soon they forget Diana Feinstein objected to the electoral count in Ohio in 2004 and delayed counting the electoral votes for one day. Was she denying reality?
