The media didn’t hand it to Obama; after all, the Number One cable news channel, Fox, is right-wing.

Renormalization is just a stop-gap procedure. There must be some fundamental change in our ideas, probably a change just as fundamental as the passage from Bohr's orbit theory to quantum mechanics.
