Well, the news just in is that a woman didn't win the Fields Medal, which will no doubt have Andrew Schalfly crowing that "conservative values" triumphed in the end.
Oh, but the "communist-trained" Vietnamese guy did... except for the fact that he lives in France, is a naturalised French citizen, did his under-grad studies at Ecole Normale Supérieure and obtained his PhD from Universite Paris-Sud.
Then again, if you're Andrew Schlafly, everybody else is either a commie liberal, or is suspected of being a commie liberal.
When Schlafly announces this is all a piss-take, just remember: I called it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which worries me more - the act that Andy might be a parodist, or the fact that Ed poor and Ken Demyer aren't.
