Fields Medal Update

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.

Misogyny, Racism & Insanity in One Easy Step

Andrew Schlafly really needs to think before he speaks. These days all he seems to do is dig himself deeper in a hole. Ever since he went batshit insane over his former boss at the Harvard Law Review becoming President of the US, he seems to be on a mission to make himself look more and more ridiculous. The really fun bit, is watching his fellow administrators - a more craven bunch of cowards you will never meet - standing back and letting Andy's rant build impetus and become more crazy as each day passes.


Not content with the Lenski affair, or another letter (sadly ignored) to Prof Moo; the Conservative Bible Project; Best of the Public and God knows what else, Andy has now shifted his vision to mathematics. Now this is a somewhat dodgy area of expertise on CP, given people like Ed "if I don't understand it, I delete it" Poor and Andrew "the Axiom of Choice is a liberal plot" Schlafly. To save time, have a look at this indepth analysis of Conservapedia Mathematics.
