Just about every day pointless non-binding resolutions are passed through the house to recognize various things that Congressman want to recognize. Usually they are passed without objection, with anyone who doesn’t want to support it just not voting. But a couple days ago a bill was passed recognizing 3/14 as National Pi Day. A seemingly harmless act caused at least ten Congressmen to vote ‘no’, including Indiana’s Mike Pence, who represents Indiana’s 6th district. Yes, Muncie’s district and one of the top members of the Republican party.

Pi: 3.14159...etc.

But why be against pi? All ten who opposed were Republicans. One was Ron Paul, of course. That guy doesn’t like anything. But why Mike Pence? Is it just the anti-education stance Republicans seem to be taking? Is it because Pence believes the value of pi to be three because he misread the Bible? One has to wonder how he would have voted on this bill.
