intriguing statistical anomaly

A polite way of saying something is a flat out lie.
I just find it an intriguing statistical anomaly that out of the thousands of Canadians I've spoken to in the last half decade of living in Canada, that I have not heard a single one complain about the fact that their healthcare system is socialized (in fact the exact opposite)...Yet commonly Americans that oppose Obama's plan and live hundreds of miles from the boarder seem to know plenty for some reason.............

Bayesian statistics

Bayesian statistics is a theory in the field of bullshititics based on the Bayesian interpretation of probability where probability expresses a degree of belief that Bayesian models are real and can provide useful information.

The entire system simply requires you to believe hard enough, close your eyes, and wish upon a star, and already know the statistical outcome you desire (aka common sense).

Works best if you applaud and apply fairy dust.
Igor: You should rethink that decision you're about to make. Let me introduce you to Bayesian statistics. It is a mathematical procedure that applies probabilities to statistical problems. It provides people the tools to update their beliefs in the evidence of new data.

Anup: Dude, if you don't want pepperoni on your pizza you can just pick it off.

Tabloid Statistics

These are statistics, usually quoted during morning breakfast radio, current affairs shows and by people butting into your conversation, have no real basis and are note scientific by any stretch of the word.

Usually, these statistics are versions of real statistics, with only the most inflammatory parts cherry-picked out of the real statistics to create a sensationalist response from those that hear it.
Woman: "Did you hear on the radio this morning, 87% of housework is done by women; you men are so lazy!"
Man: "O.K., so did it include around the house jobs like cleaning the gutters, mowing the lawn, gardening, car maintenance and opening pickle jars for you women?! That's just hocus-pocus and tabloid statistics!"
Woman: "No, why? Is all that important?!"
Man: *head explodes*
