Although I am a devoted reader of the Volokh Conspiracy, it took Instapundit to point the way to a post there announcing the candidacy of one of their contributors, Todd Zywicki, for Trustee of Dartmouth College. Weirdly, there is an odd confluence of blogosphere personalities — the three high-powered gentlemen of Power Line, your not-so-humble servant and “famous commenter” and now best-selling author Catherine Johnson — who are alums of the “College on the Hill.” Perhaps we could get something going for Mr. Zwywicki. I’m in.
UPDATE: Undergraduate support here. Is this a harbinger of blogging as a new entry point to univeristy Board of Trustees? [Not if they don't contribute a lot.-ed.]

ps. send a link to his petition to alums you know.

The story of the Weird Demographics of rogerlsimon.com continues apace:
1. Jewish neo-cons
2. Scots-Irish belligerents
3. Math geniuses
4. Child prodigies (subset of category #3)
and now——
5. Dartmouth alums??
I can see where Jewish neo-cons and Scots-Irish belligerents go together, but I’m still trying to figure out how math & Dartmouth fit in.
