What the Bailout is Really Costing Us
- and said:
Agreed with Tim that the “Occurred over 206 years” is a very misleading label. The selected data are more or less “Randomly selected expenditures that occurred over the last 206 years.” Reminds me of one of my favorite books by Darrell Huff, How to Lie with Statistics.

Which State Has the Worst School System?
- and said:
I take issue with the DC school system (a single urban district) being included and identified as one of the poorest performers in this study. Compare apples to apples – Washington, DC should not be compared to New York State and California, but rather to New York City and Los Angeles. Or simply give DC voting rights in Congress, and then you can compare the city to other states!
