Nicolas Cage Drowns People When He Makes Movies...
98% of statistics are made up. Fact. And once you start messing with data, it’s easy to draw conclusions between unrelated facts. Tyler Vigen uses these hilarious charts to show correlations between such oddities as the divorce rate in Maine and the consumption of margarine in the US, the number of math doctorates awarded in the US and the number of suicides by hanging and suffocation, and other seemingly unrelated phenomenon.
Or are they unrelated?? We’ll let you decide.

Radical Left Wing Racist: JOSE ANGEL GUTIERREZ
Political science professor and Director of the Mexican-American Studies Center at the University of Texas
- Co-founder of the Mexican American Youth Organization
- Founder of the militant Chicano activist group La Raza Unida
- “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him.”
- “Our devil has pale skin and blue eyes.”
Jose Angel Gutierrez was born on October 25, 1944 in Crystal City, Texas. He became politically active as a teenager, and in 1963 he worked as a door-to-door canvasser for five Mexican-American candidates running for his hometown's city council.Gutierrez earned a BA from Texas A&M University in 1966, and an MA in political science from St. Mary's University (in San Antonio) in 1969. At St. Mary's, he became friends with Mario Compeon, Willie Velásquez, Juan Patlán, and Nacho Pérez. In 1967 Gutierrez collaborated with these four to establish the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO), one of the Chicano movement's first student activist groups.
After leaving St. Mary's, Gutierrez returned to Crystal Rock to work on the “Winter Garden Project,” an initiative aimed at organizing Mexican Americans politically. Protesting such perveived educational inequities as the high dropout rate of Mexican-American high-school students, this Project featured mass walkouts by hundreds of such youngsters. In a 1969 speech in San Antonio, Gutierrez stated: “We have got to eliminate the gringo [an American not of Hispanic descent], and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him.”[1] On another occasion during the late Sixties/early Seventies, he said: “Our devil has pale skin and blue eyes.” Gutierrez's "plan" at this time was "to graduate a bunch of militant radicals" who would someday "come back and kick some ass!"
On January 24, 1970, Gutiérrez registered the militant La Raza Unida (“The Unified Race”) Party as a new political entity. In September 1972 he was elected as the organization's national chairman.
Gutierrez served as Crystal City's urban renewal commissioner from 1970-72, and as an elected trustee and president of the Crystal City Independent School District from 1970-73.
In late 1973/early 1974, Gutierrez was listed as a “sponsor” of the Political Rights Defense Fund, a Trotskyite communist front created and controlled by the Socialist Workers Party.
From 1974-81 he served as a judge for Zavala County, Texas, and in 1976 he earned a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin.
In February 1979, Gutierrez participated in the fourth national convention of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee.
In February 1981 Gutiérrez abruptly resigned from his job as County Judge and relocated to Oregon, from where he mailed his resignation letter. According to journalist Jaime Contreras, “media coverage implied that alleged judicial misconduct and subsequent investigations were the causes for his sudden departure.”
From 1981-85 Gutierrez worked as a teacher in Oregon, first at Colegio Cesar Chavez and then at Western Oregon University (where he also served as director of minority student services). From 1983-85 he served as commissioner of the Oregon Commission on International Trade, and in 1985 he founded the Oregon Council for Hispanic Advancement.
Gutierrez moved to Dallas, Texas in 1986 and enrolled at Southern Methodist University law school; he eventually earned a JD from Bates College of Law (in Houston) in 1988.
From 1990-92, Gutierrez worked as an administrative law judge for the City of Dallas. At that time, he candidly described himself as “an activist, a catalyst for change.”
In 1994 Gutierrez received the “Chicano Hero Award” from the National Council of La Raza. That same year, he founded the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Arlington, serving as the Center's director until December 1996. He thereafter spent two years as special advisor to the university's president.
On January 14, 1995 at UC Riverside, Gutierrez spoke at a Latino conference regarding the effects of California's recently-passed Proposition 187, a ballot measure barring the state's illegal immigrants from accessing social services and welfare benefits. In the course of his remarks, Gutierrez launched a tirade denouncing American racism and calling for Mexico's reconquest of the Southwestern United States:
“The border remains a military zone. We remain a hunted people. Now you think you have a destiny to fulfill in the land that historically has been ours for forty thousand years. And we're a new Mestizo nation. And they want us to discuss civil rights ... law made by white men to oppress all of us of color, female and male. This is our homeland. We cannot—we will not—and we must not be made illegal in our own homeland. We are not immigrants that came from another country to another country. We are migrants, free to travel the length and breadth of the Americas because we belong here. We are millions. We just have to survive. We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. It’s a matter of time. The explosion is in our population.... I love it. Se estan cagando cabrones de miedo [Spanish for “They are shi**ing in their pants with fear”]. I love it.”
In 1999 Gutierrez was the ...
Arithmetic For The Unsuspecting Commuter..
This is why real math should be taught in school.I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing him to have to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her.
This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and "flipped" the woman off.
"Man, that guy is stupid," I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here's why..........
I drive 48 miles each way every day to work. That's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway. There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars.
Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper to bumper, figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass everyday.
Statistically, half of these are driven by females.
That's 18,000 women drivers! In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642. According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449.
According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98.
And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.
According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry weapons, and this number is increasing.
That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.
Flip one off? ... I think not.

Justice Department De-empathizes al-Qaeda Threat To Focus On American Citizens.
It begins.WASHINGTON— Attorney General Eric Holder, noting an "escalating danger'' posed by self-radicalized domestic terrorist, announced on Monday the re-formation of special Justice Department unit aimed disrupting homegrown threats.
The attorney general said the unit, first established nearly two decades ago in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, would form a collaboration across the Justice Department, to include the FBI, federal prosecutors and other agencies, to thwart potential domestic threats.
"As the nature of the threat we face evolves to include the possibility of individual radicalization via the internet – it is critical that we return our focus to potential extremists here at home,'' Holder said in a video message posted Monday morning on the Justice website."We face an escalating danger from self-radicalized individuals within our own borders,'' he said.
Domestic terrorists were responsible for more than two dozen terror incidents since the Sept. 11 attacks, including the deadly shooting at Fort Hood, Texas and last year's Boston Marathon bombings, which killed three and wounded more than 260 others, Holder said.
"Tragic incidents like the Boston Marathon bombing and active shooter situations like Fort Hood provide clear examples that we must disrupt 'lone wolf'-style actors aimed to harm our nation,'' Holder said.Holder said the unit was necessary to respond to the changing terrorist threat, notably the "reduced'' risk posed by al-Qaeda's core leadership. While significant threat remains from al-Qaeda affiliates in Yemen and Somalia, Holder said that the U.S. "must concern ourselves with a different type of threat.''
Holder said the unit, first organized under former Attorney General Janet Reno, was set to meet on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, but the session never took place as the nature of the threat turned toward Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Sharyl Attkisson: "The news media are heading down a dangerous path with attempts to censor or block stories"
Sharyl Attkisson, an award-winning investigative reporter who resigned from CBS News earlier this year, says the news media are heading down a dangerous path with attempts to “censor or block stories” that don’t align with their preferred agenda.“There’s a tendency in the news media, on the part of some managers, to censor or block stories that don’t fall in line with the message they want sent to the viewers,” Attkisson said in an exclusive interview with The Daily Signal. “I think that’s really a very dangerous perspective to have.”
In the first of three segments, Attkisson shared her views on journalism and life after CBS News. Her newest investigative report—about oxygen trials conducted on premature babies—was published by The Daily Signal today. She will serve as a senior independent contributor to the news organization, which made its debut Tuesday.
Attkisson made headlines in March when she left CBS News after a 20-year career at the TV network. In subsequent interviews, she cited her inability to get her stories on the air.
“What I’m seeking out now,” Attkisson said, “is the opportunity to bring under-served stories to a broad audience through an editorial process that doesn’t censor, that doesn’t try to direct a story to go in a certain unnatural direction.”
Attkisson is writing a book, due out later this year, called “Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington.” She has criticized the administration’s lack of transparency surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attack.
Her critique of the White House is ...
During The World Cup, Brazilian Police Will Wear Robocop Glasses To Find Criminals
Facial profiling! The glasses scans 46,000 biometric points on a person’s face and compares it against a criminal database. When the glasses find a bad guy (it’s actually a camera attached to the glasses), a red light pops up inside the glasses and alerts the officer on what to do.
The goal is to start using these Robocop glasses in test runs at crowded events (think soccer games and concerts) so police will be familiar with the technology come 2014 (when Rio de Janeiro hosts the World Cup). A big concern about the World Cup being in Brazil was the security, and if you saw Robocop, you’ll know he handled his share of bad guys with ease. Hopefully, they can do the same!
