Good.
I mean, uh, that was probably not the nicest thing to say, I'm sure I meant something nicer. Let me get back to you on that. |

Knee jerk assumptions department: after 50 years of cleaning up vehicle engine emissions, what's worse for the environment: a 6210cc engine Ford F150 truck, or a 30cc engine leaf blower?
Not even close. In fact the car and truck actually cleaned the air: Quote:

I think this line's mostly filler.

Remarkably dishonest graph. The two lines are on completely different vertical scales, which would be somewhat dishonest if both scales were labeled and started at zero, and more dishonest if they were labeled and did not start at zero. This is worse - unlabeled, and different start points, so both the position and slope of the lines is completely arbitrary. 900000 < 300000? The pink line goes down (by the numbers) about 50%, but the slope of the line is about the same as the brown line, which goes up a bit over 10%? And why cancer screenings? It's not like Planned Parenthood only does cancer screenings and abortions. Answer - because cancer screenings have been downplayed in recent years, and decreasing them has been suggested by major medical groups. So it's one of the few things they do that has gone down over that period. And, related to both issues above - they only took two data points, 2006 and 2013, but put all of the intervening years on the horizontal scale. This makes it seem as if the rates were (at least somewhat) constant. A more granular line might (note that I haven't actually seen a more granular version, so this is hypothetical) show, for example, the year(s) that cancer screening policies might have changed, which would lead to explanations.

I'd suspect with Obamacare, more poor women have insurance coverage which will cover many of the things they use to get from a Planned Parenthood clinic.

It's important to follow the 2 links. It was presented during Congressional Hearings (yesterday) on Planned Parenthood --- and falsely presented as being from "Planned Parenthood's Quarterly Report". But Ms Richards (CEO of PP) countered that the source was actually the anti-abortion group shown at the bottom of HM's posting. It was quite an embarrassing moment for Chairman Chaffetz. . |

I'm surprised, I didn't think those clowns ever got embarrassed by their fellow clowns antics anymore.

WaPo charts what kind of dwelling people live in, single, attached(row and town), multi-units, or mobiles.

That is interesting to me. Do you have a link ?
I have issues comparing things just based on %. That is, LA is spread out over an enormous area, compared with most other cities. Also, the % of LA housing of >50 units doesn't seem right compared with my image of an eastern city like Philadelphia. Sorting the cities by size might be more informative. |

I'm still having a hard time with that link's description of LA.
It seems to be based on a sub-link to the following article... Measuring Sprawl A New Index, Recent Trends, and Future Research Urban Affairs Review Thomas Laidley 33/2/15 Quote:
It just doesn't fit what I remember about LA, SF, SJ and SD, as compared with Chicago and Boston from my lifetime living and working in or around those areas. I'd love to be on this sociology student's Doctorial Thesis Committee. [OJ] If it doesn't fit, you can't convict. [/OJ] |
