My favorite thing about graphs is how incorrect it always seems some peoples graphs are or how irrelevant they are.

They either are using % or other ways of using numbers that are misleading, or else they are representing one thing while saying another. Such as showing a graph of a presidents time period and blaming him, or praising him yet ignoring say who holds congress. Or other factors.

Don't want to get into which side is right and who's fault what it. Just find it amusing how often someone comes into a thread about politics and posts a graph they found online. They post the graph and say "this graph shows I win, end thread" Then to only be refuted by 10 people explaining clearly in detail how that graph is misleading, wrong, and usually posting a counter graph that does not get argued about.
