The idea that somebody looked at a purple onion and called it a red onion really bothers me.

Nope.

Make that mistake once before when McMahon and Johnnie Carson were doing a riddle with numbers.

LOL!  The numbers were 240, 300, 380, 500.

Didn't know WTH it was.

Could be!  They all tie back somehow to the gearing ratios of a 3,600 rpm synchronous motor.

“Our experience has shown us that in the excitement of great popular elections, deciding the policy of the country, and its vast patronage, frauds will be committed, if a chance is given for them. If these frauds are allowed, the result is not only that the popular will may be defeated, and the result falsified, but that the worst side will prevail. The side which has the greater number of dishonest men will poll the most votes. The war cry, "Vote early and vote often!" and the familiar problem, "how to cast the greatest number of votes with the smallest number of voters", indicate the direction in which the dangers lie.”
