The "straight skinny" from Diane Sawyer

"More than 250 American cities, more than 1000 countries, every continent but Antarctica."

How many countries has this spread to again Diane? 


1000?  You don't say.

How many countries?

That's weird. Especially seeing as there are only 194 countries on this planet.

Mark Twain said it best: "There are lies, there are damn lies and there are statistics."

That just about covers it, aside from lying ass politicians and a complicit media that throws out statistics to suit their own skewed and purposeful misrepresentations.

And for those who might be  curious about the math and the great discrepancy between Diane's example of the haves vs. the have not's

.45 percent of $31,000 = $139.5

.44 percent of $1.1 million = $4840
