I would just like to compliment the Salient on being so based. Back in my day (before I moved to the right) I had a general sense of the Salient as being full of Bush/Romney types.

Perhaps a cabal of MAGA sympathizers within the ivied halls is promoting such appointments to bolster public support for or at least indifference to cutting off the flow of federal funds to Harvard, to intensify parental angst over their checkbook allocations, and to taunt Jimmy Kimmel by flouting news that he dare not mock.
The inmates have taken over the asylum. An atheist as chief chaplain of the Harvard Divinity School and now this! You can't make this stuff up. Harvard has become a joke. I'm relegating my degree to the cleaning closet.
