    That would be the famous 1932 Mars Landing commissioned by Abraham Lincoln, right after the Lewis & Clark expedition to circumnavigate the globe.

      Last night on Jeopardy, they had a contestant who is running in a Congressional primary. He hit a Daily Double when he had $1600 and asked the host if he would go in the red if he wagered $2000 and missed.

        That explains why congressmen are so bad with budgets.

          Have you ever watched a politician being interviewed constantly making the same points even though they aren't really responsive to the questions asked?

          It's called "talking points", and they are often used to make sure everyone in the party is presenting the same message, even when there is no criminality involved.

            Yeah, this isn't that.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                I know. politicians are famous for using "talking points" - they can't trust people to think for themselves.

                Like I said, it is usually criminals that do that sort of thing.

                  Jeopardy can be a pretty tough quiz game. That contestant must have avoided any and all of the math categories.

                    Years ago, a local candidate was trying to establish his "I'm just like you" cred by saying he understands what people are going through because he himself was in debt up to his neck and barely able to make ends meet. My wife and I immediately decided not to vote for him because that was the last person we wanted anywhere near a government budget.

                              And that would be in response to a question that had nothing to do with math.

                                It's not just Democrats. Don't forget Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comment, or MTG's "Jewish Space Lasers", or Matt Gaetz using Venmo to pay for sex, or Louie Gohmert asking if it would be possible to change the moon's orbit or the earth's orbit in order to deal with climate change.
