Per capita, the great divisor

That previous post was, of course, based on today's news-cycle story as defined by Mr. Gibbs. Obama is heading for upstate New York to huff his pride in General Electric's $755 million contract with the Chinese.

The deal has been years in the making,  but never mind that. If a little unearned  credit sticks to His Obamaness, well,  heck, that's okay with him, 2012-wise.

A five-buck Chinese calculator is  the most useful device in existence for analyzing political rhetoric. For instance, if Mr. Obama used one to divide  $755 million by 308 million, he would discover the largess he sorta created amounts to $2.45 for every man, woman, and child in America.  (Assuming of course that the whole shebang is pure profit.)

There are several ways of expressing laughter in internets-speak, but none of them quite do justice to the previous quote. That's funny right there.
