unless stories of their mutual loathing are untrue.

One reason (of several) I was glad that Summers did not get the Treasury job again was that earlier this year as the flying apart began in earnest, his every pronouncement sounded to me like alarmed squawking; complicity might do that to a person. But this fall he pulled himself together, based on this testimony before Congress in support of fiscal stimulus. (Thanks, CR) Things being as they are, chairman of a broadbased advisory council I could live with.

“ABC News has learned that President-elect Obama has decided to name former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers the director of the National Economic Council, essentially the president’s senior economic adviser.”

I’d like to hear more by others on some specific incidents that makes you feel like Summers is a mistake.

For starters try selise at 16.

Then ask why the hell wasn’t he screaming his head off, like a lot of others, about the sub-prime collapse? I’m very interested in your answer. I’ll be checking back.

The answer to your question about the greater number of men in science is simple, the long history of legalized male supremacy.

If men are smarter than women in math and science, why is it that millions of women score higher on standardized tests in math and science than millions of men? If men are smarter, how do women score as high and higher on MCAT’s and LSAT’s than a lot of men? Larry was too damn stupid to figure that out.
