1. Huckabee is a fucking creep.
People think he's so nice because he has dimples and a sweet smile. Don't be fooled.

3. Does anyone want to do the MATH on this diagram?
Did I really have to point it out?

5. There are two problems with the numbers
1. They add up to 193%

2. No one in their right mind would believe that Sarah Palin gets 70% support from the GOP

This data from the graphic is either inadvertantly wrong, or a intentional lie. Either way it's ridiculous.

13. at least the module that covered making charts
Probably, people were allowed to choose more than one option. Which, of course, would make a pie chart inappropriate (it would also make the data pretty useless)

17. My kids were home-schooled
Edited on Thu May-12-11 11:15 AM by demwing
all the way through middle school. The transition to public education was easy for them, they were quick to make friends, and they earned excellent grades.

Crazy huh? :crazy:

Study after study shows that home-schooled children perform at, or above the academic level of their publicly educated peers. Maybe the DU meme about the supposed weaknesses of home-schooling needs to be reviewed?

18. On further review, the numbers look fine
Clearly, 193% of Republicans are idiots.

6. It's No Child Left Behind, Fox News style! New math! Create your own reality.
Will anyone point out that Romney is the architect of mandatory privatized health care, originally a Republican idea as a way of countering single payer, in Massachusetts?

7. FOX Math: 60 + 63 + 70 = 100%.
Sheesh.

11. Correct.... 6+6=12 12+7=19
carry the one from the 12 to the 19= 20

20 Xs the three candidates = 60

which leaves 100-60=40

40+60 = 100%

16. So Republicans Are Trying To Choose Between...............
.............a guy who would lose big, a guy who would lose HUGE, and a chick who would get a beating that would make Walter Mondale snicker (and probably quit the race before Election Day).

Ooooohhhhh!!! I'm SOOOOOOO scared!!! I'm shaking in my little space boots.

Then again, if one of those candidates somehow manages to get 193% of the vote..............
