What's that degree Congresswoman Kristi Noem is getting in May? Democratic candidate Jeff Barth thinks it's a B.S. in math:

And here I thought Noem's main math problem was her ability to exaggerate the potential job creation of the Keystone XL pipeline by a factor of 100.
Note that Barth's pointed language on spending and handouts to the wealthy goes just a little soft on the tax side of the equation. "We need to restrain our spending and keep our income up. In fact, we're all going to have to pull together to solve this problem." He does support raising some taxes (and that's one perfectly logical debt solution, paying for what we're getting from government).
One other math note: someone write Barth a check now so he can get a better webcam! I'm all for homemade, but my Blackberry Playbook can shoot better video than that... and I'm not running for Congress. Heck, B. Thomas Marking had better quality video than this one (although he's closed his YouTube account, so we can't enjoy his homemade campaign clips any more, darn it!).
