Using elementary statistics, Randall Hoven has found that voting Democratic and dying from cancer correlate very highly:
Harry Reid said, "On average, an American dies from lack of health insurance every ten minutes." If he can say that, then I can say, "On average, an American dies from voting Democrat every 3.5 minutes." Both statements are equally valid.
Hoven also limited his data to just Americans, when we all know that voting Democratic kills people in other countries too.
What he is really writing about is that causation and correlation do not go together.
Journalist students should be required to study relatively advanced statistics so they will know when Harry Reid lies to them. Or they could just assume he is.
