The Ministry of National Thought

Coming soon in ObozoLand!

Argentina’s President Cristina Kirchner has created a new post: secretary for strategic co-ordination of national thought. -- quoted at HotAir

There are problems in Argentina.   They might be prelude to problems here.

This is hardly confined to "academia," although it's worse there.
