Panel 1:
A politician (a man in a suit and red tie, standing at a podium, gesturing emphatically): "I DON'T CARE what some FRENCHMAN says! THERE DOES EXIST AN a, b, AND c THAT SATISFY a^n + b^n = c^n FOR AN INTEGER n GREATER THAN 2, AND IT'S HIGH TIME THE FATCATS AT THE CAPITOL REALIZED IT!"
Caption (below panel): How come politicians come out against logic and statistics all the time, but never number theory?
Votey:
The politician (now scowling, arms crossed): "ALSO THERE ARE TOO MANY NUMBERS! IT'S TIME TO TIGHTEN OUR BELTS!"

A politician in a suit and red tie stands at a podium, gesturing forcefully as he declares: "I don't care what some Frenchman says! There does exist an a, b, and c that satisfy a^n + b^n = c^n for an integer n greater than 2, and it's high time the fatcats at the Capitol realized it!" (This is a denial of Fermat's Last Theorem, proven impossible.) The caption below reads: "How come politicians come out against logic and statistics all the time, but never number theory?" In the votey aftercomic, the same politician now scowls with arms crossed and rants in a speech bubble: "Also there are too many numbers! It's time to tighten our belts!"
