According to Gawker, anyway .

According to the results of this story , there may be some truth to that statement .

The Wonder Peers

I've heard that L.H. Summers is in the running for being the (returning) Treasury Secretary. My biggest qualm is his apparent controversy over comments he made about female students and academics (specifically in science and engineering) when he was at Harvard . I just have two words to respond to his comments (regardless of how harsh or misinterpreted people may think they were): Danica McKellar . Many may recognize her from one of the best shows from the 80's (that still isn't out on DVD! WTF, people?!?). She, along with actress like Phoebe Cates , was the "It Girl" of the 80's. Well, Ms. McKellar is also a math major and wrote two books on the subject . Proof that people can be good looking and smart. And also proof that being the president of Harvard doesn't equate to having any sense. Hmmmm...maybe McKellar could be in an Obama Administration?
