Tiffany was the couple’s only child.

Newspaper articles at the time of her birth reported that Trump named her after Tiffany & Company—yes, the jewelry brand—because his purchase of the air rights above the store in the 1980s allowed him to go on to build Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. “She’s got mama’s legs,”

Trump told a TV interviewer of infant Tiffany in 1994. “We don’t know whether or not she’s got this part yet,” he added, cupping imaginary breasts, “but time will tell.”

It's curious that her speech last night omitted those details.

The story looks accurate. And it's an important story.

Too bad the writers felt the need to include a BS graph.

The strongest predictor of whether or not someone voted for Brexit was their stance on the death penalty.

Agreed. That graph looks bogus. Did it really jump .3 degrees from the end of 2015 to the beginning of 2016?

*edit* The graph doesn't match the NASA data at all.

Their age played a pretty strong role, too- older voters (those who would live the fewest years with the implications of Brexit) were overwhelmingly likely to vote for it, whereas younger voters (those would live much longer years with the implications of Brexit) overwhelmingly voted against Brexit.

There was a huge spike in temps from 8/15 to 2/16. My criticism was that 6/16 was 0.02 degrees warmer than 6/15, yet the graph shows a difference of 0.25 degrees.

None of the numbers match the NASA data.

It's clearly labeled as year-to-date anomolies, Sketch. Nothing BS about it.

Let me know, Sketch, if you need further explanation.

Nice catch. My mistake. derp, derp, derp...

The graph shows a high of +1.48C (approximately). Please explain how they got that temperature.

Er, um, because that was the 3 month average (Jan, Feb, March) at the time.
