George Washington, George Bush and Abraham Lincoln are on top of the Empire State Building.

George Washington says "I'm going to do a good deed to the world" and throws a thousand dollars off the building.

George Bush says "Ha! I'm going to do even better" and he throws a billion dollars off the building.

Then Abraham Lincoln says "Oh yeah? I can do even better!" And he take George Bush and throws him off the Empire State Building.

Fun with numbers

Xavier makes me listen to Fox all the time, saying "we have to know what they are thinking."

He just got back from Montana where, assuming he was a "forinor" people told him all kinds of things about Obama being Muslim, Acorn causing the economic crisis and McCain and Palin being our nation's only salvation.

This kind of talk is straight out of the Fox playbook and sometimes it freaks me out.

And then I run the numbers.

Loud does not equal listened to
