So I was just doing some algebra homework and . . .

It occurred to me that Mitt Romney reminds me of the variable(s) in an algebra equation, where X or Y can mean anything, depending on the situation. This is especially true when you're dealing with graphing systems of equations. For Romney, saying X could mean anything. I'll bet Mittens was great at algebra back in his school days.

I would prefer to claim he was a multiple of i, in other words, an imaginary number.

Of course, the more I listen to the dude, I get tensor and tensor.

It gets increasingly easy to differentiate what comes out of his mouth from the truth.

His ability to divide the county is unmistaken.

More?
