Each month Harper’s Magazine runs a column entitled “Harper’s Index.” The columns are always interesting and sometimes amazing. Here are a few examples from the Feb. issue.
Portion of Democratic women who think it would be a good thing if more women were elected to Congress: 7/10.
Portion of Republican women who do: 1/4.
Number of days former Texas District Attorney Ken Anderson spent in jail for withholding evidence in a 1987 murder trial: 4.
Number of days spent in prison by the innocent man Anderson helped to convict: 8995.
See what I mean by amazing.
