In 2006, the mathematical establishment delivered another backhanded compliment to Perelman's achievement: he was awarded the [[Fields Medal]] on a shared basis with (1) an Obama-supporter who had jointly worked on a number theory problem, (2) a French mathematician-actor, and (3) a younger countryman who had achieved far less. This four-way split of the prize with far less significant achievements was inappropriate. Perelman declined this prize also.

== Inspiring quotes about the best of the public ==
The present upsurge of the conservative movement is a colossal event. In a very short time, in America's red, blue and swing states, a hundred million members of the public will rise like a mighty storm, like a hurricane, a force so swift and violent that no power, however great, will be able to hold it back. They will smash all the shackles that bind them and rush forward along the road to liberation. They will sweep all the liberals, feminists, corrupt officials, local tyrants and progressives into their political graves. Every tea party and every revolutionary man woman and child will be put to the test, to be accepted or rejected as they decide. There are three alternatives. To march at their head and lead them? To trail behind them, gesticulating and criticizing? Or to stand in their way and oppose them? Every American is free to choose, but events will force them to make the choice quickly.
