Denny Hoskins (r) Math Twitter: maybe he should ask for his CPA school tuition money back

Representative Denny Hoskins (r - noun, verb, CPA) has removed his Twitter updates from the public eye: Denny Hoskins (r) Twitter Block: was it something we mocked?

But, today a little bird tweeted something that Denny Hoskins (r - noun, verb, CPA) posted on the federal stimulus on Twitter:

http://bit.ly/eXdQd via @addthis Obama's Stimulus Plan to cost $7.9 Billion about 1 hour ago from web

The federal government is going to spend on avg $1.3 million to create one new job? Wow, what a deal!?! about 1 hour ago from web

Obama's stimulus plan: Fed. Govt spends $7.9 billion in "stimulus" funds, divided by 600,000 new jobs = $1,311,666. about 1 hour ago from web

A little bird sent us this screen shot of the tweets.

Yes, yes, let's do the math:

7,900,000,000 divided by 600,000 = 13,166

Uh, Denny, you missed that by a few places.

Uh, that's quite an error. Maybe Denny really should ask for his CPA school tuition money back.

Update - a purging of sorts:

Michael Bersin :: Denny Hoskins (r) Math Twitter: maybe he should ask for his CPA school tuition money back

The same little bird sent us this screen shot of the purge tweet.

Uh, Denny, if you're gonna purge your old tweets, you might not want to refer to them in the replacement. Or does that "correction" refer to your position on HB 82? Just asking.

Heh. The Internets are forever.

One might say (3.00 / 1)
That he is an idiot by orders of magnitude!

Yes, we know... (0.00 / 0)
...the stimulus is $787 billion dollars.

And those 600,000 jobs? That's just the target in the next one hundred days.

You'd think someone who is supposed to be good at numbers would be able to figure that out.

Obama's summer jobs plan: work for 600,000 people

"...As a result of this accelerated pace of activity, over 600,000 jobs are expected to be created or saved by the Recovery Act in the second 100 days -- four times the number created or saved in the first 100 days," the White House said in a statement released this morning...

"...four times the number created or saved in the first 100 days..."

Uh, and that $787 billion? It will take a while longer to spend. Do some reading.

he isn't just an exponential idiot - he is a factorial idiot.  

Hee!  I love it!  I can't wait until he runs again so I can pass out hard copies of his proven stooooopidity to the voters in his district!

A little bird tells us this went up and then was deleted:

DLHoskins: Whoops, fingers accidentally hit the 00 button(yes, i do have a 10-key)Ignore last post. Good thing I went back and audited my #s. :-)

Well, well, well, he's got public access back. Heh.

And it's all purged:

All cleaned up!

Not only a purge, but a page makeover!:

What? Pastels soften your image?

I like the old noun, verb, CPA photo more than this new outdoorsy one.

Well, harumph, Denny's blocked his Twitter posts from public access again. And he's jazzed up the background graphic!

"My God! It's full of stars!"

Hoskins Step 1- Make up some crap.

Incidental Step 2- Get called on the false information.

Hoskins Step 2- Make up some more crap to cover @ss on making crap up in Step 1.  


What? (0.00 / 0)
trying to say that Hoskins is utilizing CYA more than CPA? Ha

Hailing from the land of milk, honey, and Democrats
