Who's Whining?
Drudge Report presents the following headline:
"STUDY CLAIMS: Confident, resilient, self-reliant kids grow up to be liberals; Whiny children: conservatives..."

I just want you to know that makes me so angry, and I want to know why Matt Drudge and the liberal media are picking on us conservatives. It is absolutely unfair. We are just trying to do our best and we are really good guys. Then these liberals come along and.......What was that?......
What was that?......

That's another thing. You liberals are alway picking on Pat Robertson. He's a Reverend, you know! And he just loves God, and he loves his country, and he really loves Israel. And he just knows that America has got to be agressively Zionist or, well, God's going to smash us. That's all. And he smiles a lot, and he has big ears, and he squints real hard on t.v. when he prays. But he is a nice guy and I like him and it just is not fair that kurtmaddox and Drudge pick on him.

We all need a good laugh, I think. And for a really good laugh read the article I give link to.

one good thing, i beleive is for you not to say "you liberals" like all of them are alike, that is stereotyping, another form of judging.I am not liberal, I just think that in no way is that going to accomplish anything. and honestly, why are you so concerned with what they are saying? turn the other cheek pastor dave. turn the other cheek.

I don't know about whining, but - if you look at our president, you'll see that conservatives have the smirk down really good!

Finally! Drudge got something right? (Although I didn't go to his web site. I just can't. I typed in the whole URL once, but my finger couldn't hit the enter key... some sort of spasm, I guess.)

Now I am a true conservative. Therefore, everybody who does not agree with me, in everything, is to be considered a liberal. Isn't that the way it works? Of course, what would you know, you're just out to get me like everybody else.

During that press conference yesterday, I thought for a moment the guy in my first picture was up there. Sure looked like the little feller.

I've found that if you type in the website with just a slight error, you get "The Drudge Retort", a satirical mirror site that is, while liberal and whiney, still funny.

Oh wow it had a whopping 7 % variance. Stop the presses. I am in an AP statistics class, and if you answer a question of "is this variance significant?" and you said yes when it was seven percent... you're not getting credit for that problem. And a .27 correlation?!? Why did they decide they even HAD a conclusion?!? .27 is worthless!
I don't think the study could have any merit anyway:
1. way too many biases
2. no randomization whatsoever (in AP statistics, this means the "experiment" is a load of crap)
3. not double-blind
4. measurements were purely speculative
In summary, that should not be believed, it should not have been reported, and if the professor wanted any credibility, he should have followed actual scientific method.

Thank you, thank you. I took Statistics in College, 20 years ago, for the purpose of an easy math credit. It did not turn out that way; very tough. But I remember little. Suspect studies with worthless conclusions, I imagine, show up in the news as "valid proof" all the time. So, here's another worthless study. I do think there is anecdotal evidence that conservatives can be whiners. Not me. I will not whine, although so many liberals are out to get me and they say lots of mean things about me.
