A Graphic From the Paper of Record

Emphasizing moonbat ideology at the expense of everything else seems to be eroding not only the New York Slimes' profits, but also its basic competence. They must have brought Jayson Blair out of retirement to create this graphic:

There's always something new to be learned from the sneering elitists who produce the Slimes. For example, I just learned that I live in Nevada.

Looking at this graphic, I wonder why no one wears cheesehead hats to Minnesota Vikings games. It's nice that Brett Favre is back in the state where he made his name.

If the clowns at the Paper of Record can't even get a map of their own country right, it's safe to assume that everything else they report is probably wrong.

On an anonymous tip.

It's because the NY Times cares very deeply about people in these affected areas. They would never do it to shill for a litigation firm.

1. At the bottom of the graphic, note "Source: soil water air protection enterprise".

2. Google it.

Hey -- I live in Louisiana, so what do I care? I'm "not applicable." I THINK that's what the initials mean. What do you think? Maybe "Not Advanced-enough-to-comprehend-graphs?"

Sort of like that thing with DDT, right?

You see, this is why we need a mainstream media; because their layers and layers of editors and fact checkers prevent misinformation from reaching the public.

So, in other words, the Slimes is selling it's services to these sharks.

Hey, I am from Kansas. How can we have over 4 million exposed? The area represented by the circle does not cover the Kansas City (most of the population is in MO anyway) area or Topeka. The area the circle covers maybe might total up to 1 million, if you include farm animals and people traveling I-35.

What about the other 7 states?

OOPS: forgot to mention that the state pop is 2.8 million according to Wikipedia (I chose what libs think of as a source). Carry the zero and whip out the slide rule, 70% of 4 million is: 2.8 million, according to the chart the entire pop should have been exposed, they can't even color the chart to match their figures.
4 million would include Most of Oklahoma, Nebraska, Eastern Colorado, Northwest AR, and All of SW Missouri.

Nice work, Air2Air.

I didn't know that I lived in Nevada now. Been living in Arizona for 16 years. Will this increase my state taxes? And am I able to become my life long dream of becoming a PIMP and not get arrested?

Amongst other errors, (AZ = NV) notice the large number of people that live in the water off the coasts of MD, OH, FL and TX.
I bet the atrazine is pretty diluted there.

Not to mention the enormous number of people who live in 2 or more states.
(You would think that the circles are overly large in order to account for relative size, but no....its for shock imagery.)

The "journalists" musta been exposed to too much Atrazine. Wait, they probably don't drink the same water as the rest of us, just bottled Pellegrino with a tweest of limon.

Posted by: LittleMissPerfect at August 23, 2009 6:06 PM

What we need is a graphic showing the percentage of the U.S. residents exposed to Kool-aid in their drinking water.

Posted by: Graycat at August 23, 2009 6:31 PM

Perhaps the EPA is located in Kansas and Atrazine causes delusions and disorientation.

Excellent work, Air2Air.

Someone remind me, to whom do trial lawyers make most of their contributions? I forget.
