Glenn Beck Had Better Kill Us

Glenn Beck is comparatively uneducated, but somehow he’s making millions from his show on Fox News, his radio show, and book deals.  He grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington, a place that is 75.44% White.  He went to Sehome High School in  Bellingham, Washington, a town that is 87.88% White.   He never graduated from college [...]

I suppose Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Roger B. Taney, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bernie Madoff, and the Dallas Cowboys had absolultely nothing to do with it.

Educational Equality and the President’s Cabinet

Why is it that the Obama administration has spent so much energy trying to prevent lobbyists from overrunning government, but spends little time on the fact that most (more than 50%) of the Cabinet is made up of ivy leaguers?
