Saturday, 17 September 2011 (Constitution Day), NEW YORK, NEW YORK -
The Ninth Amendment wishes readers a healthy, happy and prosperous Constitution Day today. We also remind that READERS SHOULD NOT READ UNLIMITED DIGITAL CONTENT OF THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR FREE SIMPLY BY SETTING THEIR FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". The Ninth Amendment editorial comment which follows was FINALLY digitally published shortly after 1 a.m. EST as #113 in response to Mr. Paul Krugman's "Axes of Evil" statistical piece discussing the number "zero" originally published in the 14 September 2011 Times.
Today's Fact for the Day is not a hidden fact but simply to inform we trust mostly unnecessarily our readers, other than idiot Rick "Payback" Perry (who is learning to read the Times' children's edition and coloring book), that the word "axes" is the plural of the word "axis". For idiot "Payback" Perry's benefit the "Axis Powers" were what Germany, Japan, and Italy were called in WWII, which is short for World War Two, which was the United States' LAST constitutionally conducted war, and one which we incidentally won. No, soon-to-be-unemployed idiot Governor Perry, the Mexicans were not a major combatant in that war.

In addition to our previous comment on this numbers stuff, we at the Ninth Amendment editorial board wish to point out that the unquestioned top music documentary of all time (after the PBS John Lennon in New York one) was "Spinal Tap". Please notice that ZERO was of no relevance whatsoever to this revolutionary band of extraordinary talent, who revealed that their biggest secret was that they always played with their amps at "11" whereas most other musicians sufficed with amps reduced to a top volume of "10".
Spinal Tap did not need any kind of "bar graph" or whatever to know better than never to turn the amp to zero. As did Thomas Pynchon in "Gravity's Rainbow", the first "book" of which was called "Beyond the Zero" and featured a quote from Wehrner von Braun on scientific work convincing him of the eternal continuity of existence. How many of your numbers people made it through "Gravity's Rainbow"? Did you?
