The Onion, commenting on Sarah Palin's resignation as governor of Alaska, writes that "Nothing can distract her laser focus from the ultimate prize: the Fields Medal.”
But Palin is 45, and the age limit for the Fields is 40. Perhaps she should aim for the Abel Prize instead?
(Note to the humor-impaired: this is not meant to disparage the Abel Prize.)
She should aim for constant bitch of america title, that is awarded once in usa history and only to one person.
ReplyDeleteIf Palin were a mathematician and Leba were the island where she was exiling herself...
ReplyDeleteAbel was I, ere...
(horrible, sorry)
Speaking as a Libertarian, I think we should definitely have a prize for politicians who resign.

ReplyDeleteI thought that was kind of the joke (that she was quitting her job to seek a prize she didn't realize she could never obtain).
