Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.
The Return of Chowderhead
Dean
Someone had better alert Citizen Smash: Cynthia McKinney, a.k.a. Idiot Congresswoman from Hell, is trying to win her seat back from Denise Majette, the sensible moderate who had replaced her.
Oh, I don't know that Ms McKinney is totally bad. I link within a link on her website informs us that she is a strong supporter of the Hip-Hop community. I bet no other member of or pretender to the Congress of the United States can make a similar claim.
Dean-
Couldn't find an e-mail for you, so I'm posting o.t.
Remember the thread about the Riemann hypothesis and Purdue prof Louis De Branges from a month or so ago?
Apparently, his "proof" was only so much vaporware. Not only was it not present in his Internet papers, a counterexample to his approach had been known since 1998.
I posted comments in that thread under the name "j.d." on your old site.
MathWorld has it on the front page in its "Headline News" section (no direct link, you might have to look a little). I posted about it too on my own site. Just thought you'd be interested.

You're too modest. You don't mention that you called this two years ago.
BTW, if anyone in Georgia is reading this, make sure to come out and vote for Herman Cain on the 20th and if anyone wants to volunteer for him, please email me.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
So there.
