Our family regularly enjoys the CBS crime-drama Numb3rs. No, it’s not the greatest TV ever made, but it’s just quirky enough to hold our attention. That, plus it feeds a certain wishful thought of mine, that life would be so much easier if everything could be boiled down to mathematics. Of course, it can’t be, but a little math here and there can shed remarkably clear light on a wide range of topics, including political hypocrisy.
