Cool. Thanks for posting. Since we are witnessing socialism squared, the square root of socialism is socialism.

Just sayin...

“for the mathematically challenged, three is the square root of nine”

Not so, the answer is +3 and -3.

[FlyingEagle]

No doubt about it this is the best news I have had all day!!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Nope, we’re in the square of a negative number “imaginary numbers” realm.

No joke.

And no Pi for us GOP “R” squares...

So if Obama gets a second term, there will be two of these during his reign...that can’t be good. (April 4, 2016)

Of course, we’re all screwed anyway...

The world is going to end on December 12, 2012 so they say. Make sure your liquor cabinet is empty and you have consumed all your perishables and cleaned out your freezer before turning off the lights.

And make no plans to go Christmas shopping.

Actually its December 21, 2012. I'd hate to run out of beer 9 days before the end of the world. I mean there are some things you just want to raise a cold one to.

Sounds like somebody needs to get a life.

My youngest son was born on 09/09 at 9:09 P.M. and weighed 9 lbs 9 ozs. I don't let it overwhelm me though.

(He's a member here and I am pinging him to this reply, in case he wants to take a bow.)

P.S. He's left handed! Can you imagine???

You’re talking to someone who lives in a state that just today celebrated “Casimir Pulaski day” by shutting down state offices and giving employees, including teachers a paid holiday.
