Almost every day you can find in media commentary that XYZ is causing stocks to fall (or rise). Such definitive statements are common—but what’s almost always missing is statistical proof.

In Obama’s jobs plan (which Democrats don’t appear to be in a big rush to pass), the much-maligned credit ratings agencies appear to be getting a boost.

Mr. Obama recently revealed his plan to reduce the budget deficit by $3 trillion over the next ten years. It won't work. Not because his plan is credible or not or the political climate. Rather, because 10-year projections of any sort are impossible to make. Particularly in politics.

Charlie Sheen’s recent Hollywood rehabilitation is beyond record-making, both in speed and the depths from which he’s emerged. He went from making $2 million an episode in a top-rated sitcom, to being a tiger-blood infused warlock who was “WINNING!” to looking dapper and making self-deprecating jokes on Leno—like how he made nothing off those ubiquitous “Winning” t-shirts.
