The NYT's Opinionator
gathers musings on nepotism, merit, & so forth, from those who don't think affirmative action for "legacy" honkies is necessarily the best thing ever.
And don't miss The Bell Curve fan Andrew Sullivan decrying the American Empire.

They should convene a panel for the next “Meet the Press” with Jenna Bush Hager, Luke Russert, Liz Cheney, Megan McCain and Jonah Goldberg, and they should have Chris Wallace moderate it. They can all bash affirmative action and talk about how vitally important it is that the U.S. remain a Great Meritocracy because it’s really unfair for anything other than merit to determine position and employment. They can interview Lisa Murkowski, Evan Bayh, Jeb Bush, Bob Casey, Mark Pryor, Jay Rockefeller, Dan Lipinksi, and Harold Ford, Jr. about personal responsibility and the virtues of self-sufficiency. Bill Kristol, Tucker Carlson and John Podhoretz can provide moving commentary on how America is so special because all that matters is merit, not who you know or where you come from.
Could we all lure them out to some great big hot tub in L.A.?
Rin Tin Tin, meet Won Ton Tub...

From The Locals Only Editor:
Please! There are adequate varieties of hot tub/pond scum in the Golden West. Imports are not needed.
Don't make us start enforcing the "No Creeps West of The Rockies" clause of the Constitution.
P. S.: We'll be in Frisco this wknd. while the hot tub's being installed.
