From the only reliable source of Catholic News on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
PopeWatch contacted the Pope for a comment and he said, “What, does Carter have an Apostolic Exhortation also?”
PopeWatch: Holes and Pegs
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Carter walking, talking proof for the adage, “Only the good die young.” Now, I need to go to Confession.
Mathematicians just don’t get it!
The Alliance for Free and Equal Shapes, TAFES, are making great headway bringing this discrimination to the public eye. Having a former President of the United States of America speaking out on this issue will catapult this dehumanizing and insensitive topic out from the shadows of drawers and containers everywhere.
This Grassroots movement has empowered the trapezoidal community too. For a very long time they were looked upon as odd and substandard, but now they too are coming out of the containers. They to want to……fit in. 🙁
Fear not TAC. Ovals are content being ovals
Comment of the week Philip! Take ‘er away Sam!
I was afraid my exuberance for this news would disgust readers that frequent your blog. The possibility of being banished from future contributions did cross my mind, but to my surprise you throw in Sam. 🙂
Not at all. PopeWatch has always been in favor of mathematical social justice for geometrical forms.
This type of acceptance could change the physical world is ways only Joe Biden could conceive. Astonishing!
Dizzy gold-digger blondes, if we are to believe such mysterious creatures exist, are living proof that diamonds can merge perfectly with squares. If a wife is involved, then the theorem also works for triangles.
Philip: “…only Joe Biden could conceive…”
Now you do know he’s pro-choice, don’t you?
Joe Biden is pro-choice?
I’ve commented for three years or so on the (c)atholic politicians that support death and still go happily to the communion rail without any detriment from clergy. Canon 915 is only good if it’s used. So rare is this Canon that the majority of Catholic’s believe it’s fine and dandy to support a death squad President; (see O’bummer.)
Yes. I know Joe and Nancy and the (c)atholic unfaithful. Intrinsically evil? They don’t give a heck.
I used to read mathematical magazines that were geared toward those teaching advanced mathematics. A correspondent wrote in one magazine:
–
“Someone wrote on the wall in the men’s room in the mathematics building:
2 + 2 = 5, for large values of 2”
–
I think our politicians would understand.
Perhaps President Carter doesn’t appreciate the difference in meaning between the words distinction and discrimination.
TomD, “Someone wrote on the wall in the men’s room in the mathematics building:
2 + 2 = 5, for large values of 2”
I wonder who has ambition so small, to post his theorem on the toilet-room wall.
When John Nash co-invented the game Hex at Princeton, his friends almost called it John, in part because they often used the hexagonal tiles on the floor of the men’s room to play it.
TomD, Talk of humble beginnings. We wonder if checkers had as checkered a past.
