QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 11:02 AM) WTF do you have against PZ? For some reason I felt the need to follow up on this. This is exactly what I have against PZ Meyers, Evangelical Atheist and Douchebag Extraordinaire. They're turned their atheism into the same fundamental religious ideology they despise. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/201...shine-skeptics/

Stafford is awful lately

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 01:32 PM) That was Haynesworth-y. Have to assume a suspension is coming down for that one.

Ps I am thankful for my two thanksgiving dinners!

I hope detroit goes winless for the rest of the year.

Yeah argue some more with your coach that you aren't a dirty pos suh

Haha suh gets his dirty ass thrown out and gives gb a first when they had then stopped. Real classy.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 09:58 PM) So this is what happens when the unemployed basement dwellers get angry, they become the virtual jerky boys. I wonder if their mommy's and daddy's would get upset if people cranked their houses and sent pizza's to them. There are ways that this gets dealt with, acting like an ass is not one of them. The occupy movement is so trying to be the 60's protestors. Except they are going through the motions. And this so called internet group is trying to hack the gibson, yet their weapon is a google search and online record repositories. Sad. Uh anonymous had done a bit more than google searches

Bears sign mccown? per zz on b&b

You need a backup, might as well be Orton. I wouldn't want him starting over Hanie any time soon, though.

Beware the secret Islamofascist turkeys infiltrating a dinner table near you! http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/11/hap...anksgiving.html I have to assume that this blog is an elaborate troll and that its name is intentionally ironic.

I'm trying to get lostfan to violate his security clearance.

We need lostfan to confirm or deny her claims.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 10:14 AM) And yet totally not surprising. Terror is still brewing around us, even if no one is telling us. It's not surprising that they'd be trying to gain access, but Bachmann still may have leaked classified information. On the other hand, as the article notes, she also claimed that Hezbollah is trying to build missiles in Cuba, so maybe we should take her claims with the usual grain of salt.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) There are some scientific polls that are not biased...I openly admit this. I simply have little trust to find which ones ARE and which are not. In this world, I question almost everything...including scientific polls. How do we know that their posted methodology isn't a complete lie? We don't. We just have to take their word for it. This is true for any information outside of your own personal perception, and even that is your brain's interpretations of the signals that various sensors are receiving. Unless you want to collapse into a solipsistic view, sometimes you have to trust people not to be lying. One way to check is peer-review, though. Especially on large national issues, there will be dozens of polls conducted by numerous different outfits. And the ultimate test is a poll of something put to a vote, since you can see clearly how closely a poll corresponded the to final result it was trying to predict.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 08:45 AM) Not really, and even if it does, since I allow certain passwords to "save" in the browser, if I click logon, the user/pass is already filled out so it only takes a second to log back on. Yeah it's not a big deal, but whenever I switch devices (work computer, home computer, phone), I won't be logged in on the new device.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 10:01 AM) I'd say that undergrads would have less at stake than a political strategist. A quick example of poll fixing would be location. I could just cite "Downtown Chicago" in my methodology, and it would be true. But that "downtown Chicago" location could be outside an Apple store. If I polled 200 people in that specific location, what kind of people do you think would end up being the majority polled? I can tell you now, it would be liberal leaning people. Now if I move just a bit north to the Gold Coast...I bet 200 people would yield a much more republican leaning result. It's just a guess. But depending on what results I was looking for, I'd simply move to a location that would lend the best chances at the results I want... And my methodology saying "200 random people in downtown Chicago", wouldn't be a lie. My results, however, would be totally compromised despite my listed methodology. But a competent pollster looking at that would question the actual makeup of your sample and whether it was representative or not. That's why the cross-tabs break down with so much granularity on a good poll. You can't just say you polled 200 random people without verifying that your sample was a representative sampling of the larger group you're trying to extrapolate your data to. I'm still not disagreeing that there are many, many ways to construct a bad poll, some deliberately and some intentionally. RE: political strategist, obviously a DNC poll is going to be biased but there are plenty of political scientists out there who do not partisan strategists but take pride in presenting representative data and understanding of a population's views and ideas. And not just in politics either, but brand preference, etc.
