At last, we academics will be in charge!

The Washington Post has a story about how Barack Obama is filling his administration with Ivy League grads and academics. From Academic Elites Fill Obama’s Roster:

Yale law professor Dan Kahan said several of his colleagues are for the first time considering leaving their perches for Washington. “You know how Obama always said, ‘This is our moment; this is our time?’ ” Kahan said. “Well, academics and smart people think, ‘Hey, when he says this is our time, he’s talking about us.’ “

No! Mr. Obama, no! Take it from me, who am one. You don’t want academics to run the country!
