Fox News anaylst Bill O' Reilly has been talking about the Daily Kos website on his programs
recently. They are a left wing blog that says heinous things & publishes heinously "created" pictures on our current President, George W. Bush. These people have invited all
of the current Democratic field of Presidental candidates to speak at their convention. All but
Joe Biden have accepted. This is a HUGE mistake by the Democrats to be associated with this
hate group. Last week Bill showed a picture of a calf in front of the President in an attempt to
make it look like he was buggering the calf. Terrible. An even worse picture was shown depicting
Joe Lieberman on his knees and about to put his hand in the President's pants to play with his
you-know-what(or worse). This is TOTALLY VILE & UNACCEPTABLE!!! All the Democratic candidates should immediately cancel their appearances at the Daily Kos Convention & apologise
to Senator Lieberman for accepting their invitations. To not do so undermines their viabilities
as a Presidential candidates. What's your opinion? I'd like to know.

The Matter with Heinlein...
Yesterday I read the Wall Street Journal's online article on the career of Robert A. Heinlein,
noted Science-Fiction author. My brother Jim, a scientific genius in his own right, felt that some
of the ideas that Heinlein came up with were junk, & I tend to agree with him. Example 1:
in his novel The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress,his main character comes up with the saying "TNSTAAFL(There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch)". Yet that saying is in itself not true.
In all our travels with our friend (& fellow political activist) Joe Long, we've had hundreds of
free lunches. And we've also paid for the free lunches of others on many occasions. O.K., you say,
you're taking this too literally,it's just a metaphor. But guess what, friends? On a societal level,
there are many social programs sponsored by the government that end up being a free lunch
for the poor and downtrodden. And do they pay for them? NO! But we the taxpayers do. So how
can you say that there's no such thing as a free lunch? Jim says that's a tautology & a straw man
arguement,at best. What's your opinion?

Godel's Proof(by Jim Spinosa)
In 1958 Ernest Nagel and James R. Newman's book Godel's Proof was published. It is a through but accessible explanation of Godel's theorem. If you study their explanations deeply you will come to the conclusion that Godel's theorem is invalid. Godel translated the elements of mathematics into numbers which he calls Godel numbers. Each individual element of a mathematical formula is assigned a number such as each of the variables, each of the constants,
each of the various signs and symbols plus each element of punctuation including left and right
parentheses. The Godel number for a formula also encodes the order in which the elements
occur so for example the Godel number of the formula 0=0 is 243,000,000. Godel also has a
method to assign a Godel number to sequence of formulas grouped together to form a proof.
Godel's assignment of Godel numbers to the individual elements of mathematical formulas
is not rigorous enough to avoid confusion. He adds to the confusion by concocting formulas where variables such as y refer to entire proofs. This may have been done on purpose in an
effort to prove his thesis.
