First a pithy poster from the excellent terrellaftermath. Worth a thousand of our words on the immigration controversy:
Moving on . . . this from our Illustrious Senior Editor, DLH
Easy. Our contemptuous, contemptible Commander-in-Chief, the buffoonish Joe Biden, and the hapless twit who “serves” as Secretary of Defense.
Actually, to have any one of these “folks” attend could be considered disrespectful.
The math of the IRS hard drive failure
This from HP, forwarding calculations that seem plausible:
I LOVE MATHEMATICS IT ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUTH AND IT ALWAYS TELLS IT THE SAME WAY.
The odds of winning the Florida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480.
The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 175,223,510.
The odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 258,890,850.
The odds of a disk drive failing in any given month are roughly one in
36. The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly
one in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300. The odds of three drives failing
in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656.
The odds of seven different drives failing in the same month (like what
happened at the IRS when they received a letter asking about emails
targeting conservative and pro Israeli groups) is 37 to the 7th power = 1
in 78,664,164,096. (that’s over 78 Billion) In other words, the odds are
greater that you will win the Florida Lottery 342 times than having those
seven IRS hard drives crashing in the same month.
And, the odds of a Democrat telling the truth are even higher.
To Whom does the LAND OF Israel BELONG?
From DC,
An Israeli with a Sense of Humor at the United Nations set the record straight.
An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly and made the world community smile.
A representative from Israel began: ‘Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses: When he struck the rock and it brought forth
water, he thought, “What a good opportunity to have a bath!”
Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A
Palestinian had stolen them!
The Palestinian representative at the UN jumped up furiously and shouted, “What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren’t there then.”
The Israeli representative smiled and said, “And now that we have made that clear, I shall begin my speech.
