The attempt to reduce something as ineffable as intelligence to a single natural number is not very intelligent.

It's a combination of Intel and Character. A lot of high IQ people get seduced into the "A" track in school and never figure out the "how to make a buck" part of it. They end up embittered Liberals. That's why we had the post the other day about how "A" students teach while "B" students work for "C" students.

I have a friend who is a funny and terribly smart guy (outside of politics), quite accomplished in his field. A few years ago I asked him, out of curiosity, what is it specifically that turns him off to George Bush. The answer was a growl - "I Hate the son of a bitch!" Go figure... :) He and his family helped raise quite a few bucks for Obama. I think part of the Mystery of the Left is that they focus on - and see mostly - "fairness" of outcomes. The American way is fairness in opportunity.
