Harvard the (Fake) Infomercial

Lawrence Summers’ derivative bets may have cost Harvard $11 billion, but we didn’t see this coming. America’s premier training ground for millionaires and unabombers has resorted to late night infomercials. Ever consider a career in bonuses? Act now!

Funny but true. Anyone the Ivy League mafia produces ends up holding the reins of power (e.g. White House, the Fed). There are little to no individuals working in “power positions” that are not from Ivy League Schools (e.g. Harvard, Yale, Princeton).
