Obama's Best and Brightest

YEAH!!!! "Best and Brightest" instead of "Cronier and Croniest". Via Taegan.

David Brooks notes that nearly all of President-elect Obama's appointments went to the nation's most prestigious schools.

"This truly will be an administration that looks like America, or at least that slice of America that got double 800s on their SATs. Even more than past administrations, this will be a valedictocracy -- rule by those who graduate first in their high school classes. If a foreign enemy attacks the United States during the Harvard-Yale game any time over the next four years, we're screwed."

Inspiring Photos: Obama Phone Bank At Yale

By GottaLaff

Via the Hartford Courant, something to make your day:

Yale juniors Ben Lazarus, left, of New York City, and Jacob Koch, of Chicago, sign in students volunteering on a phone bank for the Obama campaign in the common area in Berkeley College. Koch and Lazarus organized the phone bank, which meets several nights a week. Students have been volunteering to make calls using their cellphones and laptops since the beginning of the school year, continuing what they began last year, using a computer database provided by the Obama campaign.
