The SMART cars have been cleared for U.S. import.
Don't know about the wisdom of buying them as Mercedes isn't the behind the effort.

So the lesson is that not just anyone can make up data well - IOW it's harder that it looks.
Also, have creative types as well as number crunchers on your Statistical Information Interpretation team. I would have been such a good advertising/PR person.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have you considered going into politics?

Doesn't work, I can't keep a straight face during speeches.

When I was in college, the radio station I worked with did a survey to see who was listening (not many, it turned out). What was interesting was the degree of falsification of surveys that occurred because the cold calling was boring and frustrating when dealing with a small rural town who didn't care what the little college radio station was doing.
My former boss had a job cold-calling people for the Alexandria police department and asking them very detailed questions about their security practices - do they lock their doors, windows, have an alarm, type of locks, etc. Amazingly, people would just happily give all this information to someone who called them out of the blue.

Nah. I don't think he's going anywhere. I don't think he'll be found guilty of an actual crime and the bad press will blow over.

The only way Rove's going anywhere is if he ascends. And he's already a big giant snake, so what would be the point?

Damn. I'm having a lot of trouble searching for the 80% porn thing (predictable, given the presence of "porn" in the search terms) but it sounds interesting!

Yeah, I can see that being difficult to search for. I've heard that 80% of the Internet is porn.
