The paper, published by Cato in April, found that in the five years after personal possession was decriminalized, illegal drug use among teens in Portugal declined and rates of new HIV infections caused by sharing of dirty needles dropped, while the number of people seeking treatment for drug addiction more than doubled.

McCaskill had planned an oversight hearing on problems with contracts to train local police departments in Afghanistan. She said the Senate rule that allows the minority party to block committee action was “really dumb” and should be dropped.

“Disagree with us, debate us, vote no,” she said. “But to use a rule to stop us from working — that dog just doesn’t hunt from where I come from. That doesn’t even makes sense. That’s why people in American think we are clueless here.”

Levin said he “pleaded” with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to prevent the blocking of a second day of hearings. A GOP objection on Tuesday also closed down committee work.

“It seems to me this is an example of how the obstructionism around here has gotten mindless,” Levin said.

A GOP leadership aide would not directly respond to Levin’s charge, but noted that Democrats canceled hearings Tuesday so that senators could attend the White House signing ceremony for the health care bill.

Research by Britain’s Medical Research Council (MRC) found that lower intelligence quotient (IQ) scores were associated with higher rates of heart disease and death, and were more important indicators than any other risk factors except smoking.

clearly these numbers can only be read by those in a lower states on the list :)while those in the upper echelon, cant see beyond their conservative values and the mighty word of god, and numbers don&#8217;t really mean much to them&#8230;
&#8220;He uses the following exchange from the first presidential debate between Al Gore and George Bush in 2000 to illustrate the perils of trying to explain to voters what will make them better off:
Gore: &#8220;Under the governor&#8217;s plan, if you kept the same fee for service that you have now under Medicare, your premiums would go up by between 18% and 47%, and that is the study of the Congressional plan that he&#8217;s modelled his proposal on by the Medicare actuaries.&#8221;
Bush: &#8220;Look, this is a man who has great numbers. He talks about numbers.
 &#8220;I&#8217;m beginning to think not only did he invent the internet, but he invented the calculator. It&#8217;s fuzzy math. It&#8217;s trying to scare people in the voting booth.&#8221;
Mr Gore was talking sense and Mr Bush nonsense - but Mr Bush won the debate. With statistics, the voters just hear a patronizing policy wonk, and switch off.&#8221;
