This is where "facts" come from

Megan McArdle - Department of awful statistics:

"This time the LA Times gets into the mix, claiming that 60 million Americans live on less than $7 a day. Like many awful statistics, this was generated by a sort of Rube Goldberg machine; the LA Times got the figure from a guy with a website, who got it from the World Socialist Workers Website"

Don't forget to base all your opinions on what you read in the papers....Oh, and TV, too!
