I Don’t Hate America!

As I was watching WCCO’s 5 p.m. newscast this evening I couldn’t help but think of state representative and congressional candidate Randy “the Whammy” Demmer and specifically his difficulties with mathematics.

I thought of the man known in some circles as “Teen Talk Barbie” when a story featuring this high school program came on:

Yes, “Who Wants to be a Mathematician?” The game shows high school students that learning math can be fun!

While current First District Rep. Tim Walz dedicates his time to a high school program giving students the chance to visit China, one of his opponents, Demmer, would be better off participating in this one about math.

His struggles with counting and division have already been documented, but perhaps Demmer will need to learn about the concept of negative numbers.

Negative numbers, as in being stuck with a portion of the $20,000 loan he gave to his campaign if he can’t improve his fund raising efforts and is unable to get the Republican nomination. Not even $17,000 this period, Randy? I may suggest not using expensive convertibles in parades; a mid-size sedan should suffice. Maybe there’s a barber college where Demmer can get cheaper haircuts? Selecting the BBQ chicken sandwich, fries and cornbread for $4 or $5 from the Longworth cafeteria instead of going to Ruth’s Chris while in Washington on NRCC junkets (I’ve had the former; it’s pretty good!).

Taking more Minn. House per diem? Oh wait.

I’ve been very mean to Rep. Demmer recently, so today I’m just trying to help!
