FLASH!

BULLETIN!!

NEWS ALERT!!!

State Controller John Chiang has announced that California will run out of cash by early March.

Yawn. Haven’t we heard this before?

In-home health services are being cut to raise money for illegal aliens to receive in-state tuition. Priorities don’t ya’ know. (Screw the elderly folk who pulled the wagon in Kalifornia for so many years).

I hope Zeno is right.

Zeno was bad at calculus. Not everything in math has an intuitive and correct answer.

Infinite processes remained theoretically troublesome in mathematics until the late 19th century. The epsilon-delta version of Weierstrass and Cauchy developed a rigorous formulation of the logic and calculus involved. These works resolved the mathematics involving infinite processes. (link)

Don't let the late great Willie Green hear you say that.

NO MONEY but Moonbeam say lets spend 90 Billion on a high speed train that no one will ride.

I heard someone refer to Gov. Moonbeam's the CA high speed rail system as the Brown Streak.

Zeno might not have known his calculus, but the idiots in Sacramento can’t even manage basic arithmetic.
