LA: Jindal far ahead of others, but below 50%

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Jindal: 46%
Boasso: 10%
Georges: 9%
Campbell: 6%

Undecided: 29%

The poll of 641 registered voters was conducted Oct. 1 to Oct. 6 by the Southeastern Social Science Research Center at Southeastern in Hammond. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percent.

In 2003, the university released a poll showing Jindal and then Lt. Gov. Kathleen Blanco were neck and neck less than a week before the runoff election. Blanco, a Democrat, won by four percentage points.

Honestly, how can they truly call this accurate when thats all they poll in a state of millions?  It makes no sense to me

Take a statistics class.

If you ask me, real world examples beat the hell out of "Seven students prefer puppies.  Nine prefer kitties.  Show in graph, plz."

Agreed. I have enough of their so called "Real World Examples" with trains, cookies, and NaCl solutions.

Oh, we're not allowed to use cookies, because they might set a bad nutritional example for the children.

I'm serious.  We're seriously not allowed to use cookies, or ice cream, or cake, or french fries.  Technically, we're not even supposed to use pizza to demonstrate fractions.  But there seems to be some kind of laziness exemption that always passes the censors.

The worst of it, though, is that we are not allowed to use the word "dice," "die," or imagery showing a traditional die with pips to teach probability.  Because that promotes gambling.  Even though the reason kids learn probability is because the state and federal standards demand that children learn how to "avoid unfair games of chance."

We can, however, use the term "number cube," with numbers instead of pips.  Cause kids are retards and will never make the connection between the two.

(And now, back to Bobby J.)

Wow. This idiocy must be fairly recent, because that definitely wasn't the case in my math textbooks. Still idiocy.
