Election Day

Election Day

Today is election day and if you are a Republican, you should be out voting. If you are a Democrat, don't worry, you can vote tomorrow!

There have been some concerns at the polls today. Some stations are showing that not all polling machines are working because they forgot to send extension cords.

Fortunately, my exit polling shows that Ehrlich/Cox and Steele are far ahead. To those who are voting for O'Malley and Ben "I love illegal immigrants" Cardin, Judge Judy and Wheel of Fortune are on tonight - stay home and don't miss their exciting new episodes!!!

My sister-in-law called me and for school board in Harford Country, the form said to "choose no more than 2". She chose 1, but the program would not let her do that. The election judges were confounded and recommended that she choose an additional person to circumvent the problem. Yikes!

Someone called WBAL and said that his neighbor and he went to vote and posed as each other. No one questioned them nor asked for identification. This is illegal, but it proves that anyone can go in and vote as someone else. Fortunately, Democrats do not listen to WBAL, but most of them are well-trained in voter fraud. O'Malley held classes for the past 2 months.

O'Malley Endorses...

Toto.


BUZZ BUZZ

Unless something odd happens, we will not know who the Governor or Senator are for several days. A poll cast by the left-wing liberal extremist MSNBC showed that the gubernatorial race (that's the race for Governor if you're from a Baltimore City school), was dead even at 45% each.

The same poll showed that Ben 'me amigo' Cardin and Michael Steele are 1% apart, but with the +/- error, it is dead even, too. When Cardin's supporters were asked to comment, most said, "Aye carumba! No hable Ingles, si."

With the election results hanging tonight, the buzz words & phrases being thrown around will be "Voter fraud", "Dirty tricks", "voter disenfranchisement", "not counting the votes", and "stole the election". Word on the street is that both parties have hired their lawyers to sue the other side once the election results are given. Neither side will concede the election, while both sides will declare victory.

The best thing about election day? No more stinking political advertisements. We're all sick of them!!!!!!

Funny Story

Last week I purchased a burger and fries at McDonald's for $3.58.
The counter girl took my $4.00 and I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies. While looking at the screen on her register, I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried.

Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s......

Teaching Math In 1950 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math In 1980 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20 your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math In 1990 A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers.)

Teaching Math In 2006 Un ranchero vende una carretera de made rapará $100. El cuesto de la producción era $80. Cuantos tortillas se puede comprar?
