Mathematics and Humor: The surprising connections

Happy St. Patrick’s Day – and wear green!
March 17 is a very special day, honoring the richness of Irish history, traditions, and customs.

Media Missile Mayhem

Sympathy for the She-Devil?

And They’re Off

BestBank’s bad and misandrist commercial

Kiss My Caucus
January 3rd came and went…and the political world didn’t end!
