One of the most harrowing stats, released by the Census last Thursday, shows that the highest number of Americans are living in poverty since the Census published its first estimates 51 years ago.

Just once, I wish someone would resist the urge to pick and choose statistics that "support" their news story. The total number of americans is at its highest ever, too. And the poverty rate now is less than it was in the early 90's or the 80's. (And way less than in the 60's.) Not all that harrowing, if you ask me.
