Like your handle, “Math Geek ‘e’”!! Are you irrational? ;-)
Thanks for a good laugh.
I lived in Minneapolis in the early 1990’s.
In those days, the Republican Party in Minnesota was known as “Independent-Republicans,” or “I-R” for short.
Obviously, the temptation to call us “Irrational” Republicans was irresistible to the Left.
Around 1992, a philosophy professor at the University of Minnesota ran for US Congress as a Republican.
He created a magnificent campaign slogan - in part a comic send up of Descartes, and, in part, a mockery of the Left:
“I think. Therefore, I-R.”
