Why oh Why Can't We Get Better Harvard-grad Silver-spoon Econ Bloggers with a Finer Sense of Irony?

Born on 3rd-base econ blogger, Brad DeLong obviously thinks he hit a triple when he complains that Slate isn't pissed off enough about a member of the family that owns the New York Times getting a "nepotistic promotion".

DeLong after all is the son of Harvard faculty. He went to some of the finest schools in this country including -- surprise, surprise -- Harvard University.

We're all beneficiaries of nepotism in one way or the other. Some of us are simply more honest about it.
