Said it before, and I'll say it again: Not once during the official recounts (yes, all of them) was Gore ever ahead. He also didn't win in the independent media recounts done by newspapers none too friendly to Republicans. But facts don't matter when you're a Democrat. |
Thank God for Mississippi!

Friday, April 23, 2004 � Last updated 8:11 p.m. PT Washington man found hanging from tree THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WOODVILLE, Miss. -- Family members say a man found Friday hanging from a tree in rural Mississippi had returned home to fight for his family's land. The body of 55-year-old Roy Veal was discovered in Wilkinson County, relatives said. Warren Strain, spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, said the body was discovered about midday in a wooded area of the county near Woodville. Authorities declined to identify the man pending notification of relatives. But Doris Gordon, a Woodville native now living in San Francisco, said the victim was her brother, Roy Veal of Washington state. Thelma Veal, the man's mother, also confirmed the identity. "They found my brother hanging from a tree with a hood over his head and some papers burned at his feet," Gordon said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from San Francisco. "It's awful. We don't know who did it." Oliver James, 72, one of the men who led authorities to Veal's body, said there appeared to be a blue-flowered cover over Veal's head. James said one of the investigators said it appeared to be a pillow case. James also said Veal's truck was parked about 50 feet away. Gordon, who said she would be returning to Woodville as soon as possible, said her brother had returned to the family home in Wilkinson County "to help with a lawsuit pending against our family." "There are people trying to take part of our land because they apparently think there is oil on the land," she said. Strain said the Highway Patrol's Bureau of Investigation was looking into the death. County Coroner Travis Sharp said he had not been contacted; the sheriff's department declined any comment. FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden said agents were available if needed but at this point the investigation was being handled by local authorities. Officials at the chancery clerk's office in Woodville said a lawsuit pending in chancery court names several members of the Thelma Veal family, including Doris Gordon and apparently Roy Veal, as defendants. Chancery Clerk Thomas Tolliver Jr., said the case involved title to land in the county and damages. Thelma Veal said the lawsuit sought portions of land owned by her late husband and his brothers. She said her son had obtained a map of the property and was collecting documents to prove the family owned the land. "Now they have found my son hung back there on a tree," said Thelma Veal, 79. She said her husband owned more than 40 acres in the area southwest of Woodville and that it was being sought because it might have oil deposits. There is oil production in that area of the state. "My husband's daddy bought this land in 1926 and I've been here ever since I was 18," she said. "It's our land." |

| Originally posted by occrider Hehe as subuddha said, don't take it so seriously. Any first year stat student learns that statistical significance is not the same as causality. Trying to establish a correlation between IQ and who you vote for based upon average IQs of how the electoral votes of a state went leaves causality errors so big a statistician can fly a plane through it. But I actually like that inference ... and I'll take it a step further. The source is pulling its data from a book called IQ and the Wealth of Nations. The premise put forth by the authors is that, "a significant part of the gap between rich and poor countries is due to differences in national intelligence (national IQs). Based on an extensive survey of national IQ tests, the results of their study challenge the previous theories of economic development and provide a new basis to evaluate the prospects of economic development throughout the world." Therefore one should be able to measure intelligence on the basis of the wealth of a country. Given that wealth is defined by GDP per capita, one need only look at country by country data to determine which countries are the smartest: http://www.worldfactsandfigures.com...ountry_desc.php Asides from those damn luxembourgians, I guess we're pretty damn smart. |

| Error Correction: The source of this data is not "Wealth of Nations" as it had been attributed to us. A reader writes in and tells us he has the book (Sorry to hear that Mike) and the state IQ's aren't in it. This is a huge relief as the book is one of those race/IQ books. So we're still trying to track down the source for the IQ scores. As this is all a bit of good fun we aren't to concerned with the source. We know that Republicans are mentally impaired. If they weren't, that would just make them greedy. |

| In the past, the opposite of voluntary migration to another country was slavery. Nations like the US and Brazil were peopled with both types of migrants. Accordingly, opposite selection effects for the free and slave peoples were at work. On average, those arriving voluntarily (including indentured servants) likely had more ambition and brains than those who were caught and sent as slaves. The migrations into the US of both Eastern European Jews and Africans were the result of horrible events. Many people died in these events, especially in the originating countries. One process selected out people with higher IQ's and ambition, the other possibly the opposite. Thus we should not be surprised at the large difference in IQ's currently between these groups in the US. |
