The problem with John's statistics isn't whether or not they're "true" or not
in the literal sense, they're simply misleading non sequitirs.

Much more to the point is that 4.1844 times more meteorites fall every year
in the counties won by Bush than they do on the counties won by Gore. And
even more alarming is the fact that the very much the same thing is true of
airplane crashes, although the ratio of Bush:Gore crashes is even higher.

The questions you have to ask yourself then are: what the heck are the people
out there in Bush country doing to attract so many meteorites? And are we
going to let these people continue to knock airplanes out of the air the way
they are now? Shouldn't we be doing something to stop this blatantly criminal
activity? Where are the people with guns when you really need them?
