I have heard (OK maybe it's myth) that in urban areas, when ice cream sales increase, violent assaults tend to increase. Seems like an illogical correlation. Here's the explanation: When the weather gets very uncomfortably hot, tempers tend to flare more easily; thus, hot weather sometimes correlates to an increase in violent assault. When the weather gets very hot, ice cream sales also tend to go up. Therefore, it can technically be said that when ice cream sales go up, so do violent assaults. The moral of all this: stay away from the Dairy Queen during the dog days. You'll get your ass kicked.

Also where there are poor people, there are working (and voting) people who would rather use their often-meager earnings to put food on their own tables than on those of the people who are on the government rolls. They vote Republican because they don't see how they can afford to pay more taxes, which they believe they will pay otherwise. Even hard-working people often barely make ends meet. That's obviously not random chance, and it's not causation....just correlation. Never once have I voted for a republican. Maybe I'm a yellow dog democrat. I like to think it's those nasty Republicans who like to skew statistics to make an inaccurate statement about the other side.
