I saw this from the AP today.

Poll: Obama leads McCain among people who don't have pets

Are you kidding me? Is that really worthy of the front page? Geez, talk about a slow news day.

What's next? Poll shows that McCain leads Obama among people that only eat fish on the third Wednesday of every other month.

Stats can be made to show anything you want if you get specific enough. Hence the phrase "Lies, damned lies, and statistics." Those types of stats are meaningless...
