Kevin loved Winnie; but Corey needed Topanga


No big surprises here - Yesterday morning Tony Snow said an annoucement was on the way. Sure enough, our President couldn't even wait until the afternoon was over: Zoellick is the official U.S. nominee for the World Bank presidency.

What do we know about the man who now holds the gavel of economic justice?

Things he loves: pandas, German food, free markets, (selective) bayonet democracy

Things he once detested: Japan's public postal system, skeptics of Enron, economic protectionists

Hometown news organizations who still don't know that he grew up there: The Naperville Sun.

Okay, so finally - on June 31 - the Naperville Sun finally acknowledged that Robert Zoellick did go to Naperville Central High School.

It only took 2 decades of high-level public service, followed by an appointment to the World Bank presidency to get them to notice.

Intrepid journalism strikes back!
