So, the House passed the stimulus bill.  Our national deficit is about to go through the floor.

Ironic, isn’t it?  That was what the left criticized Bush for, yet they managed to outdo him within a matter of weeks.

Well, we can laugh or we can cry.  It’s Friday, for Pete’s sake, let’s laugh.  There will be plenty of time to cry, I assure you.

Iowahawk has a fake news story, “MATHEMATICIANS DISCOVER LARGEST NUMBER.”

PALO ALTO, CA – An international mathematics research team announced today that they had discovered a new integer that surpasses any previously known value “by a totally mindblowing shitload.” Project director Yujin Xiao of Stanford University said the theoretical number, dubbed a “stimulus,” could lead to breakthroughs in fields as diverse as astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and Chicago asphalt contracting.

“Unlike previous large numbers like the Googleplex or the Bazillionty, the Stimulus has no static numerical definition,” said Xiao. “It keeps growing and growing, compounding factorially, eating up all zeros in its path. It moves freely across Cartesian dimensions and has the power to make any other number irrational.”

It’s funny, yet no so funny.

(And what’s with the math nerd theme today?)

If you have any other stimulus-related humor, by all means, share it.
