Check out the credentials on the Democratic candidate for the 3rd congressional district of Nebraska:
The Omaha World Herald is now reporting that Democrat Scott Kleeb, a [cattle] rancher with a PhD from Yale on International Relations, has taken the lead in the [cash on hand] race against his Republican opponent, State Sen. Adrian Smith in the open seat contest in NE-03.
A cattle rancher with a Yale Ph.D in IR? That’s…counter-intuitive.
I can’t decide whether to make a joke about politics, a joke about Nebraska, or a joke about the academic job market.
But regardless, it certainly made me smile.
