Always Have Been ... 2/3 or 3/5? What...

John Ellis Bush (Jeb) shot himself in the foot, figuratively not literally, by appearing to have a soft place in his heart for some illegal immigrants. The New York Times is printing some divorce announcements in order to, I guess, provide equal time with marriage announcements. Alaska is not in favor of using drones for hunting. Mazda is recalling vehicles because spiders spin webs in the car and that could cause fire problems.

Here's how I would solve one of those problems. Alaska should consent to having drones hunt spiders in Mazdas. Hunters, drones, Mazdas and to a lesser degree, spiders will thank me.

Mitch McConnell. Okay, I'm going to say it. Look at his name. He is using MM, cC, nn, and ll to spell his name. No wonder all the youngsters today are just using 140 characters to write stuff. Mitch McConnell is hogging letters, using them twice when he could get by just using them once. Well, I'll admit he probably does need an M for Mitch and an M for McConnell, but he is being a bit selfish with the rest of the letters. He could just spell it Mconel, right?

Anyway, his primary opponent, Matt Bevin, got pecked by Stephen for speaking at a controversial event. In his defense, he didn't know what he was doing. Stephen explained it well. Also, people did it in the past, so it's patriotic. "I mean the Founding Fathers were all, many of them, very actively involved in this and always have been."

Great. I solved one problem in this post. Now Matt Bevin has created one. Just imagine those illegal immigrants coming here and they decide to learn English. They listen to what Matt Bevin said and try to learn from it. They learn that "all" and "many of them" can be used interchangeably. They learn that people who lived more than 200 years ago may have done something in the past but they continue to do it even now. No wonder people have a hard time learning the English language. They are listening to Americans speak it.

Stephen interviewed Edward Frenkel, Professor of Math at Berkely, and it got somewhat steamy. I won't go into detail because I do not have any photos. You know what I mean. Although they talked about a lot of stuff, including Edward Frenkel's book, "Love and Math - the Heart of Hidden Reality," let's just summarize by saying that if you love Stephen Colbert, and we all do, then you should love math. I only wish Stephen could have had Edward Frenkel on the show on 3/14. They could have shared a nice apple pi.
