Dear John

Today the postman delivered 4 calling birds.  Now, really, they’re beautiful but don’t you think enough is enough?  You’re being too romantic.

Affectionately,
Agnes

Dear John
Oh!  Aren’t you the extravagant one!  Now I really must protest.  I don’t deserve such generosity – three French hens.  They are just darling but I must insist – you’ve been to kind.

Love,
Agnes

Today the postman brought your very sweet gift.  Just imagine – two turtle doves!  I’m delighted at your very thoughtful gift.  They are just adorable.

All my love,

>120% of Americans have an opinion

>

Fox News didn’t like the results of the poll about falsifying results, so they falsified the results.

According to the poll, 35 percent thought it very likely, 24 percent somewhat likely, 21 percent not very likely, and 5 percent not likely at all (15 percent weren’t sure).

Fox News’ graphics department added together the “very likely” and “somewhat likely” numbers to reach 59 percent, and called that new group “somewhat likely.”

Then, for some reason, they threw in the 35 percent “very likely” as their own group, even though they already added that number to the “somewhat likely” percentage. Then they mashed together the “not very likely” and “not likely at all” groups, and threw the 15 percent who were unsure into the waste bin.

Voila — 120%

As such, Fox News’ presentation of the data made it seem as though 94 percent of Americans think it’s at least “somewhat likely” that climate scientists falsify their research data.

I went to the door today and the postman delivered a partridge in a pear tree.  What a thoroughly delightful gift.  I couldn’t have been more surprised.

With deepest love and affection,
Agnes
