Larry “I’m wrong about everything” Summers is a leading candidate for the next head of the World Bank.

Seriously.

Larry Summers wanted to export toxic waste to Africa, helped personal friends loot Russia during its “market reforms”, and has been wrong about everything he’s ever done in real world policy, and so he fails up to head the World Bank.

Well, it is a prime position for someone who thinks that countries in Africa are vastly UNDER-polluted.  (Yeah, he claims that it was all a joke ……… now)

Seriously: the is a class of people in the United States, and they fail over, and over again, but they keep falling up.

And people say that the Ivy League schools are over rated.

I can’t speak to the quality of the education, but the value of the connections are priceless.
