=================================================

He is far from a moron: he's done some pretty good work, judging by the journals where he has published. His supervisors were Birkhoff and Priestley, top people in the field.

He is not a moron but surely is a leftist extremist.

I believe this would be a good time to introduce a bill in the Tennessee Legislature bringing back dueling. I have a suspicion there are perhaps some good Tennessee decendants of Confederate soldiers that just might decide to challenge friend Jonathan Farley to learn something about that good Southern tradition.

Maybe this has been posted already, but Farley is leaving Vanderbilt for MIT. The position at MIT is a temporary one, as a Martin Luther King Jr. Visiting Professor, so he might return to Vanderbilt, but it looks likely he will move on to another university after MIT. His column saying that all the Confederate soldiers should have been executed appeared the day after he accepted the position at MIT.

Farley ran for Congress in November 2002 as a Green Party candidate.
