    Teacher Arrested At Airport

    NEW YORK -- A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator.

    At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he believed the man was a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. The man, who had not been identified, had been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

    “Al-gebra is a credible threat to national security, and Homeland Security forces have made a measured response to this threat to America,” Gonzales said.

    “They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country,” he said.

    President George W. Bush released a statement at a White House press conference after the arrest.

    “It all adds up to something. What that is we don’t know. We do know that this man is an evildoer. He did not have nucular weapons. But he had other weapons. Those weapons were calculated to cause an effect,” President Bush said.

    Asked whether U.S. forces in Iraq should be given similar weapons, President Bush said, “There are three sides to every triangle. If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.

    Then there is Donald Rumfeld's:
    "Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
    I hope this clears everything up.

          Rummy at least seems to make sense, however tortured and pedestrian the logic. (Reminds me of the Gospel of John, actually, in its pounding you over the head with words and logic.) Unlike Al Haig, who always sounded like his head was about to explode.

                    and more...

                    This could lead to a protractored debate!

                    I bet the liberal news media will find all the acute angels on this story.

                    The analysis was a little obtuse.

                    Neocons will find perpindicular points to square the debate.

                    Liberals will argue this is derivative of other other other mistakes the administration has made.

                    The aclu, of course, argues this this the final equation.

                    Most people agree this is the administration engaging in hyperbole.

                    And, best of all:

                    Its just another slice of the pi in the war on terror!

                    (we could go on, but why?)
