Brought To You By The Nancy Pelosi School of Math…

…I give you Verizon.

You’d think that with all the folks following the Verizon dude around, there’d be at least one that could do basic arithmetic.

Modern math, like most of today’s educational fantasies, means whatever you want it to mean.I spent a half-hour once trying to explain to a newly graduated high school student the difference between temperature measured in Celsius and that measured in Fahrenheit.

That is… wow. I suck at math and even I know that they got it extremely wrong.The problem here is less one of math, however, than one of blind belief in the rightness of the corporate crap.I believe the brain disconnect occurred not on the math questions, but at the mere suggestion that they could possibly have done something wrong.

Ah, our old nemesis units pokes up his evil head…I was the bane of my students existence when I taught Biochemistry as a graduate student. I would invariably knock an entire grade off a lab report if the student failed to note the units. You know what, though? Halfway through the semester they were *all* remembering the proper units…

AD,What if you are trying to explain it to a woman. For the purposes of this example we might pretend that Madame Speaker Pelosi is a woman. We know that she is not a mathematician.The other line that brings that wet stuff to my eyes is, <><>Obviously, it’s a difference of opinion<>. We’re doomed.<>Can we send them to al qaeda as suicide bomber trainees? <>Pleeease.<>Dear NASA, we have an April Fool’s Day surprise for you. It is also take your moron to work day.Have I mentioned lately, that <>We are doomed.<>And these people are probably not prohibited from voting. Whether they can figure out what to do once they are inside the voting booth, is a different story.< HREF="http://www.blinkx.com/burl?v=FCl9eI4z266iUTw9-qkFcI1toqqz0r6bnPVfd6xj8-U4-GB5x8Smy-sWGDX0IwdpBYaeGGQHVJZYY0oM4dvkPjZEGtjTgLShSaGHDQ" REL="nofollow">Verizon management training<><>We’re doomed<><>Units?
