Schadenfreude, Thy Name Is Sheehan

Being no mathematician and not understanding what you get when you divide by zero, I'm not even sure you can express in real terms how greatly the press outnumbered the fans at Cindy Sheehan's book signing.

But I do know, as far as royalties go, that zero percent of zero isn't too good.

Alright, I totally started reading the Wikipedia article on division by zero, re-lived every horrifying math class I've ever been in, and got a headache.

Basically, anything (except for zero) divided by zero is infinity.

Or *approaches* infinity, if you want to be mathematically rigorous.

[Yum Yum]

Wait. Anything divided by zero is undefined.

Anything divided by k as k approaches zero is infinity.

The infinity symbol looks like a sideways 8, like something I think we're all, uh, familiar with.

That is just sad!

I truly hope that if her 15 minutes of fame are up and the Left is done exploiting her that she can pick up the pieces of her life and move on. I was deeply offended by much of what she has done, mostly because I felt they disgraced the memory of her son, but I wish her no ill will.

That's a cheap shot. This picture was taken BEFORE the booksigning even began. She sold all 100 copies at this event and even got cramps from signing all the books.

Thank you for repeating the publisher's press release, right down to the hand cramp.
