Add to this the notion of corporate recruiters passing Harvard and Princeton by for Penn State, Purdue and Texas A & M, because the latter institutions are more likely to justify the time and expense of a recruitment visit in terms of yielding employees with the kind of skills companies need, and we seem to be witnessing if not hope for threatened elites, at least change.Some musings on the angst of the elites from the Chicago Boyz. Status-anxiety run amok. (And no, we don't want to have sex with our parents. Oh yeah, we're the crazy ones.)

This from Sissy Dave -"Dinesh D’Souza’s Forbes cover article, “How Obama Thinks,” contained the sort of untethered assertions that have become the lingua franca of this movement. Obama got his subversive radicalism from his father’s grave, D’Souza postulated: “He adopted his father’s position that capitalism and freedom are code words for economic plunder.” The fact that Newt Gingrich embraced this offensive theory is a sign of how severely the normal intellectual standards have been weakened." - the Squiting gent who gushed all over Obama's trouser crease.
