Today's Math Lesson

A number divided by zero is an expression that is not meaningful.

The corollary is that a number provided by zero is also not meaningful.

Update: Of course, the problem could simply be my intellectual incapacity to grasp the complex brilliance of Obama and company.


Joe Klein's view of the average American.

Well, since Obama is a whole of lot nothing, his providing a number from zero is logically consistent with his capabilities.

Which is to say, he has none.

TW: witio. Yes, I am quite witty, if I may say so myself.

JeffS said...

Heh!

TW: foolyz. Yes, Obama is a fool.

"A number divided by zero is an expression that is not meaningful."

Much like any division of wealth endorsed by President Zero.

Paco, that you for that fine rendering of the Official Bird of the Obama Administration.

OT. Can you give a progress reports on the efforts to reach the street, or did you finally retreat to the hearth? How's the puppy's bladder holding out? Has Mrs. Paco come down with cabin fever?

Deborah: the snow plow showed up at 11:30 pm Wednesday night and worked on our street for a couple of hours. So, we now have a clear path down the street; the problem is that it's only wide enough for one car. Still, it's better than some streets in the 'hood that don't appear to have been cleared at all.

Mrs. Paco has sat out on the porch off and on, watching me shovel snow, which has provided her with sufficient amusement to distract her from cabin fever. If it snows again anytime soon, I'll have to dump the stuff inside the house; no more room outside.

Mabel continues to be fussy about where she goes, but has compromised to some extent (she has completely given up looking for a grassy spot).

For a 'dumb' animal, Mabel ain't so dumb.

"Because we’re living in times so extreme and so extraordinary and so extremely extraordinary that you want to shout from the rooftops — only to find, after climbing up there, that you’ve been confused into near-incoherence."

Yes, Yes. Ditto from me on that.

All these lifelong state employees, of whom Obama is just the most prominent example, imagine businesses operating in a vacuum where the state can just pay them to hire more people. Supply and demand ignored - madness.

"If it snows again anytime soon, I'll have to dump the stuff inside the house; no more room outside."

Hang in there Paco!

Did you go to work at all this week, Paco? It's been nice and quiet at the office, so I assume my agency is shut down.

Paco said...

Jeff: No, I was out all week. I'm what you call one a' them there "non-essential" government employees.

JeffS said...

Heh! I think I'm in that category. The boss may not agree, but that's his problem.

Someone should remind Mr Klein that 'brown' is not a primary colour.

Unfortunately, we'll have to listen to lefty bawling and squalling for a long time as the Obama/Pelosi/Reid legacy goes down the toilet (while we're clinging to the rim to keep from going down with it).

Or, maybe, we just won't listen. Irrelevancy, thy name be progressivism.
