This just came in-

NEW YORK -- A public school teacher was arrested today at John F.
Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while
in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and
a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra
movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI
with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a problem for
us," Gonzales said. "They desire solutions by means and extremes, and
sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use
secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as
'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator
of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the
Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every
triangle'."

When asked t o comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have
given us more fingers and toes."

White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more
intelligent or profound statement by the president

It's even more disturbing because it's true.
