Couldn’t resist posting this awesome display of statistical genius created by our friends at Fox’s affiliate in Chicago.
For those who may not see the gaffe… A pie chart represents 100% of any given sample. The individual slices are meant to show a percentage of the whole – thus their sum should equal 100%, not the 193% indicated by the Fox News chart. Maybe this represents the GOP Candidate percentages found in Foxnewsistan?

Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
