A Date Which Will Live In Innumeracy

By Mitch Berg

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

December 11, 2008, Bernie Madoff charged in a $50 billion Ponzi scheme.

December 11, 2012, President Obama’s “fiscal cliff” negotiating position: “Madoff was a piker.”

What was it Stalin said?  “Fifty Billion is a crime, Twenty Trillion is a statistic?”

Something like that.

    Nevertheless, December 11 will always be a special day in our family with three important and even miraculous things (so far) happening on this date: http://thenightwriterblog.com/2008/12/11/a-special-day/

    Mitch, any thoughts on Crazy Al Frankin and A-Klo reading the Obamacare bill to find out what was in it, and discovered that the medical device tax is bad for Minnesota jobs? They now are against that portion of the bill, that is after they were for it. I wonder how much Medtronic, St Jude Medical and Boston Scientific contributed to their campaigns.
