Naugle's Favorite Story

By Bob Norman Wed., Jul. 25 2007 at 10:58 AM

In the Miami Herald version of the Jim Naugle "apology" and subsequent big gay rally at Fort Lauderdale City Hall, there is mention made of a New Times story the mayor handed out as proof that homersexuals are banging each other in every warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in the area (Tommy Lee Jones, we love you).

I remember that 1999 article well. Written by the illustrious Jay Cheshes, who has been freelancing in New York for several years since, it made quite the splash at the time. I'm not sure what social truths can be taken from it, but it's beautifully reported and written and one hell of a read.

Hey, Truth Matters -- Love that name, couldn't agree more. About that "rebuttal" you posted. 1. The 2004 Lancet study itself offered alternative numbers that didn't include the Falluja cluster, which dropped the increased death rate from 2.5 to 1.5. So, you're not saying anything here that the study itself didn't allow for. 2. The 600,000 casualties number comes from Lancet's 2006 study, not its 2004 study. The pdf you posted has absolutely nothing to do with the study in 2006. I agree. Truth matters. Pity you wouldn't know it if it hit you in the face. For the record, I'll allow that the 600,000 number could be a little high for the period March 2003-July 2006. However, the number you mentioned is just the median of the 2006 study's 95-percent confidence interval, which ranged from 392,000 to 942,000. And certainly, I expect Iraqi casualties to fall within that range for that period. Of course, they're even higher now. Y'know, when you come off trying to sound smarter than everyone else with comments like "since you will most likely have no clue whatsoever regarding the statistical terms and such I'll summarize," but then you turn out to be totally ignorant, you look like even more of a douche bag.
1999....wasn't that like 8 years ago! That's 48 years in gay years. Now you have to worry about married Republicans trying to have sex in public places.
Bob, I know this is totally off-topic, but regarding the 600,000 dead Iraqi's that you and your liberal idiot friends like to use every time there's a discussion about the war (rather than actually discuss the issue at hand), http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/upload/2007/07/KaneLancet.pdf Warmest Regards, TMFA P.S. Since you will most likely have no clue whatsoever regarding the statistical terms and such I'll summarize. The authors of the flawed Lancet Study can not reject the hypothesis that the mortality rate was unchanged, post-invasion.
whooo, that's some ancient "proof." the article's a decade old.
Sorry, I'm using my real name, you can like it or not like it, it's all the same to me.
jeff....read bob's sentence again: "I'm not sure what social truths can be taken from it, but it's beautifully reported and written and one hell of a read."<p>do you think your point was proved or something?<p>by the way can you change your name? i hate that some of my comments say "jeff" and normal people may think that i'm the idiot that you are.
Hmm. I recall all vitriol directed at me when I dared, several blogs ago, to point out what the real issue under the surface was, and it wasn't about a 250k toilet in and of itself.
With all of that fucking, how could the be "unhappy"?
