I Hope This Post Impresses Jodie Foster

Is it weird that the only reason I remember my sister’s birthday is because it falls on the same day that Ronald Reagan was shot?

  1. Should we take hope, or worry, about this bit of news?

    “Ronald Reagan almost fell prey to the numerologists. Every president elected in a year ending in a zero from 1840 on has died in office - except Reagan (and George Bush Jr., though his term is not over). In fact, Zachary Taylor is the only president not elected in a year ending in zero who did die in office.”

  2. It’s amazing the kinds of predictions you can make when you have a small sample size. Here’s one :

    Every president who has run for re-election, whose father was also president, has lost the election by a twelve-point margin.

    Here’s another one :

    Every Republican whose run for president in this century has gotten less votes than his Democratic challenger.
