Recount Craziness
This is a link to an Article on MSN about the Recount Demands that are currently all over the news...
(My advice is that you not bother reading the above link. What I have to say below is less confusing and a lot more fun.)
This is what The Fella (me) wrote on a very similar look at this issue back in May 2010 & February 2016...
Too Many Members Of Congress Can’t Handle Basic Arithmetic
This may seem elementary to those of you who have gone through the 5th grade.
Lots of numbers are being thrown around our 9% Approval Rating Congress these days. I watched in amazement recently on CSPAN as one of our elected "leaders" said the following …
"My good friend from across the aisle has just voiced strong opposition to my proposal to spend $10 Billion to convert all states that are using Paper Ballots to Electronic Voting Machines and to convert all states who are using Electronic Voting Machines to Paper Ballots. I continue to be amazed at the short sightedness of the Opposition Party and their ongoing inability to handle basic arithmetic with regard to a mere $10 Billion price tag."
"I am sure that the folks back home have no problem with spending $10 Billion for such a worthy project. They understand that 10 is not a big number. 11 is bigger than 10 and so is 12. If I were asking for 18, that ought to give pause to the taxpayers as to how their money is being spent but 10 is only 10. It is hardly more than 9."
"Beam me up Lord. I can no longer stand being around these penny-pinchers who are not smarter than a 5th grader."
Ok, I admit I made up all of the above…Or did I?
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: I think my take on this issue makes a lot more sense.
