Washington Post editorial: [link]

The Bush Era is over. The sooner politicians in both parties realize that, the better for them -- and the country.

Recent months, and especially the past two weeks, have brought home to a steadily growing majority of Americans the truth that President Bush's government doesn't work. His policies are failing, his approach to leadership is detached and self-indulgent, his way of politics has produced a divided, angry and dysfunctional public square. We dare not go on like this.

Damn. Harsh words from a big newspaper....

That's funny, Brenda. Not as funny as if she woofed back. Wow...thirty-four counts. (Filled with WaPost love.)

Oh, that sounds like fun!

Seriously.

Anyone familiar with ancient Egyptian methods of division?

Didn't the ancient Egyptians use a stone adz for division?

It sounds like blah, blah, Ginger, here.

There were these 4 races and they had this Stargate thingy......

I remember there being a very important papyrus concerning Egyptian mathematics. And that's about it. There were sums on it. And it had nothing to do with pyramids, but the pyramids were build almost to the golden ratio thingy.

Yeah, I know archaeology, not math. Sorry.

ETA - that Google gives me the Rhind papyrus. I think that's the one I was thinking of. Also

They cooked dogs, right? Divided by an adz?
