Political Math

Last week, Illinois reported more than half of their schools are failing under the federal No Child Left Behind law. The verbiage in this ad might explain why.

Subject: Political Math
Source: Chicago Sun-Times Newspaper

Nominated for: "Political Math Makes Sense Only to Politicians" award based solely on the number reported here can mean anything or nothing, just like most things in politics.

This actually isn't Durbin's math, but the way the Chicago Sun-Times displayed it, Chicago should have no problems getting its' voters out, dead or alive or otherwise. To count these votes, all that needs to be done is move commas and decimal points as needed.
