In the words of Benjamin Disraeli…

…and later, Mark Twain (which is where I thought the quote originated):

“There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies and statistics.”

Heh. They crack me up. I’d say “stop it, yer killin’ me,” but that would just make the folks that believe stuff like this all moist in the undies.

Besides, they forgot one: 76.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Stole the ridiculous political cartoon from BobG.
