Looking sideways & backwards

I would have posted this site earlier if I had begun writing before the election. Although I would say this site has a very liberal slant, the statistics and rationale used are pretty sound. What is remarkable is the accuracy of the final prediction.

One caveat, statistics can help tell a story they are not "the story".

I see you haven't updated in a while, but I'll throw this out anyways....

I was listening to the radio the other day and heard this show about "Choice". It reminded me of the Blink book you read a while back. And of-course Malcolm Gladwell made an appearance.

Today I purchased Blink having lost my skepticism through hearing the radio program. I think RadioLab could become my favorite show.

I hope you enjoyed the game.
