Math Problems

Preston and I have talked to several people who haven't even heard about the following clip. For this reason, we feel we need to post it in order to spread the joy we feel when we watch it.



If we didn't listen to The Mark Levin Show or visit The Drudge Report daily, we wouldn't have known about it. For reasons completely unknown, television news stations refuse to show it. Ha ha.

If you listen closely, he says "John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S." There are two problems. First, he says that the JOB facing the middle class is JOBS? Interesting. I'm not sure how that makes a lick of sense. The second problem is obvious. He needs to go back to preschool, because I'm pretty sure that's where they cover counting to three (if you already didn't learn it at home). I'm most certain that if Sarah Palin had called "jobs" a three-letter word, it would have been unforgivingly exploited through all media channels.

Oh yeah, our other favorite quote of his is: “When the stock market crashed (in 1929), Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’ ” The reason this quote is so fun is that Herbert Hoover, not Roosevelt, was president at the time, and commercial television didn’t exist.

I hadn't heard about it either. It's either amusing or sad-- amusing for now and I hope not really sad in November.
