Square Nine

Some numbers are interesting. 2 is the only even prime. 6 is the first perfect number. Considering the natural numbers, it should be possible to divide them into to sets: interesting and uninteresting numbers. Let us assume, efmk, that there are uninteresting numbers. Among that set there must be a minimum: by so being, it is obviously an interesting number. This contradicts the assumption that it is in the set of uninteresting numbers, in turn contradicting the assumption that there are uninteresting numbers. So every number must somehow be interesting.

The White House website provides some mighty interesting information on economics. The State of the Economy, in their words,

• America has the fastest-growing economy of any major industrialized nation in the world.
• The economy has posted steady job gains for each of the last fifteen months – creating over 2.4 million jobs since August 2003.
• The unemployment rate dropped from a peak of 6.3% last June to 5.4% today—below the average unemployment rate of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
• After-tax income is up by over 10% since the end of 2000, and household wealth is at an all-time high.
• Inflation, interest rates, and mortgage rates remain at low levels.
• Homeownership rates are at record highs.
• The stock market has grown rapidly since the beginning of 2003, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 25% and the NASDAQ up 56%.

This raises some questions. First, why did they neglect to make the slight, slant, of the report a little, less, obvious. Second, why is there such an, obvious, slant? And why did they think it was necessary?
