It is Pi Day, and by coincidence the 1 1/3 centeniary of Albert Einstein's birth. Pie, of course, defines the relationship between lines and circles. Einstein, among many other things, defined the relationship between objects and events. Blend the two, and this is the patron saint day for circular logic, which might be why Mitt Romney had an early bedtime Tuesday.
Last night, Mitt romney finished third cumulatively in states that can produce real birth certifricates. Hawaii, is of course a state, which requires us to adjust his standing upward to 3.14159 . . .
As it happens, the southeastern wing of the American Mathematical Society just completed a conference in Tampa, which is where the GOP will convene to complete its nomination process. Unable to stand up for his principles to the party base, unable to do more than parse Rush Limbaugh's word choice in a 52-inmsult attack on Sandra Fluke, unable to appeal to southerners, unable to properly use cheese as an adjective, Romney notes that he nevertheless controls the math.
Very well then. Let him run to be leader of the mathematical world.
