Lies, Damn Lies & Statistics
Seriously?
Pet owners prefer McCain over Obama
Why are they conducting polls on this? Were the pollsters bored or something and just decided to start making up random questions for fun? I am a HUGE animal lover, but whether or not the candidate owns a pet has no bearing on my choice for President.
On a side note, I think Obama should adopt a dog from an animal shelter for his girls when the election is over. Save a life by rescuing a homeless pet!
And finally, just because I like to relate everything back to The West Wing:
From "The Leadership Breakfast"
JOSH
[picks up the phone]
I want to tack on a question, okay? "Would you object?.."
"Would you have?.." "Yes or no would you have an objection if..."
[to Sam, closing the mouthpiece]
What should the question be?
SAM
"If the White House would move the Press Corps to Trenton, New Jersey,
would you give a flying...?"
JOSH
Okay.
[into the phone]
"Would you object to the White House moving the Press
Room out of the West Wing and into a facility across the street?"
Read it back.
Many thanks to The West Wing Transcripts for the quote!
