National Pi Day, Miami County Weekend [1]:
It looks cool, grown-up, amazing and sophisticated. Unless you don’t like math.
But if you love it, ? seems like one of the greatest developments of its time. What could be better than the ultimate irra-tional number, a true rebel?
A mathematical constant, pi is roughly estimated to be 3.14.
That’s the short version.
Pi is all about circles. It’s part of the area and circumference formulas. The circumference of a circle – expressed formulaically as ? times the diameter – is three times the diameter plus the diameter times the decimal places of pi.
No Just desserts:
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP [2]) – She claims to be an heiress to the Jell-O fortune, but New York’s highest court has denied her what she considers her just deserts.
But she was pro-life, 13-WHAM [3]:
9Rochester, N.Y.) – She’s one of Rochester’s most famous citizens, and Thursday, the woman who was ahead of her time, was celebrated.
Mrs. Pelosi vacations, FSM [4]:
Unfortunately, the House – led by Supergrandma [5] Nancy Pelosi – was not up to the challenge. Pelosi, in her infinite wisdom, decided to call a 12-day vacation for her minions without bothering to vote on the FISA Amendments Act passed by the Senate just two days earlier. And two days after the House adjourned, the PAA expired.
The Audacity of Pork, Leon H Wolf, Red State [6]:
It appears that Barack Obama, allegedly decent guy and agent of “change” in Washington, requested an earmark in 2006 for $1 million taxpayer dollars for the hospital where his wife works. Said hospital, by the way, gave Michelle Obama a huge raise (nearly $200,000, more than doubling her salary) in 2005 after Barack got elected to the United States Senate. Now, I know that there are lots of ways to talk about transactions like this involving public officials – quid pro quo, etc., but I prefer to call a crook a crook and just say that we’re dealing with good, old fashioned, public corruption here.
Rather than being a agent of change, Barack Obama is just another corrupt Washington politician.
