    This is actual science, I am on my phone but I can link the study later. They had people hand out tasks to other subjects and then they and the other subjects rated them on how fair they were in doing so. When asked normally the people handing out the tasks all thought they were significantly more fair than the people who received them. But when asked while they were simultaneously being asked to remember a 7 digit number, they admitted to being just as unfair as the other subjects thought they were.

    Yeah. Problem with Euler is that they get really math-intensive really fast. This is a fairly introductory class, so I don't want to throw too heavy stuff at them.

    Yet.

    I did rather like my Josephus solution. You can do cute stuff with Ruby.

    I dunno vaginas are mysterious, maybe you can get a cucumber pregnant.

    Also condoms are just a good idea to avoid infections.

    The promotion of social welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office. However, a section 501(c)(4) social welfare organization may engage in some political activities, so long as that is not its primary activity.

    I am very not happy about the IRS targeting people based on their politics.

    Somewhere I have a clip of Obama joking about people getting audited... It's not funny now.

    There's a slightly broader problem here where recent evolutions of campaign finance laws have caused a proliferation of 501(c)(4)'s that engage in political campaigning, and the FEC has been effectively neutered as a regulatory agency with respect to those 501(c)(4)'s, and so the only way to keep them anywhere approaching above-board is to check their taxes to make sure they are behaving in a way in which they are entitled to their 501(c)(4) status, and moreover there are many, many more right-leaning 501(c)(4)'s that were started over the last couple of years than left-leaning 501(c)(4)'s, and establishing any policy in which the IRS wants to check those new 501(c)(4)'s for the purposes of ensuring that current campaign finance law is being observed without auditing every 501(c)(4) started in the last couple of years (including those non-political 501(c)(4)'s) will require a delimiting criteria that is inherently political in nature.

    Having said that, I acknowledge that this particular implementation of a policy sucks balls.

    I just think it's extremely problematic for the IRS to be focusing energy based on assumed political affiliation of its targets. It's a huge line to cross in terms of honest government and people's belief in the system. It's terrible PR as well to be hassling the very groups that are motivated by big, stupid, inefficient government.

    As we get closer to ACA implementation I cannot imagine a reason why any Democrat would support or defend efforts to prove us right when we say government can't be trusted to deal fairly with people and ought to be strangled as much as possible.

    If no one gets fired over this I'll have to conclude that the Obama admin is basically corrupted by political desire to win and views me as an enemy or an impediment, rather than a citizen. This is the line for me, and if we cross it without some consequences for those who were involved, I'll no longer be able to trust the administration to deal honestly in any other circumstance.

    22 bucks off so 7.50 for the game.

    the IRS thing is so silly. Fuck them for even apologizing for it. The only problem there is that they are so starved for resources they could investigate so few of the applications in the 2010-2012 timeframe.

    Do you know how many tea party groups had extra investigation on their application (not audited, that is totally different)? About 75. There were 300 or so applications set aside for extra investigation into the legitimacy and 75 ish were because they were tea party wackadoodles. That was out of about 3,400 such applications for the year which was about double the year before. Because of Citizens Fucking United.

    And who was in charge of the IRS at the time? A Bush appointee - Douglas Shulman - who says he had no idea it was going on until long after the fact. I actually believe him.

    The problem with the IRS is that it is not sufficiently funded to really investigate every one of the bogus "charities" that political organizations and churches use to dodge taxes.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson
