#1 Bunch of BS from a pseudo-conservative. Not worth the time it took to read it.

#3 I'm not familiar with Napoleon III.
Am I a dumbass?

Does this guy have a knowledge of Calculus?
Does he know what a Jacobian operator is?
Knowledge is relative, it depends on your background.

#4 President Cain will have a big challenge cleaning up Obama's mess, but he'll get the job done.

#5 Napoleon III, nephew of Napoleon I, grew up in exile. Holds the distinction of being both the first titular president and last monarch of France. Elected president of the Second Republic (18501852), then made emperor in a coup d'état. Reigned as emperor from 1852 to 1870.

Known for an assertive foreign policy. Domestic politics were liberal: promoted public works; supported rebuilding of Paris, establishment of institutions of credit. Established numerous social-welfare programs and institutions, such as boards of arbitration and "societies of mutual assistance" (promoting worker-owner 'mutual understanding'). Result was nearly two decades of prosperity, but under a very authoritarian government.

Deposed and exiled to England after a disastrous war with Prussia (Franco-German War 187071). Died in 1873.

#6 In short, Napoleon III is a Progressive's wet dream.

#7 Jacobian operator, Jim? I've never heard of any part of the Jacobian change of variables formula called an operator. Technically, it is, of course, being a linear mapping from the space of functions from R^n to R^n to the space of n by n matrices of functions, but I've never heard of it referred to that way.

#8 Am I a dumbass?

Not any more than Mr. Lira is a "qualified Conservative" - which he tells us more than a few times*.

*If he has to keep saying "I'm a qualified Conservative", then he's not one - at least in this reality.

#9 I'm reading a lot about Scottish history atm, and there's a lot about Jacobites. Is that related?

#10 "The Calculus" has been shown to do that to the human brain.
