Math Class Is Hard
Pick a mainstream media newsroom at random. There is probably a conversation like this going on within:
“Gareth, did you read that 6% of Tea Party members are black?”
“Yeah, Cody…and African Americans make up almost 13% of the country.”
“My God, Gareth—that means about half of the country’s blacks are Tea Partiers!”
This is why almost one in two Americans are below average.

The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
