The University of Havana-North, not content with having one of its own in the oval office, continues to add alumni to the new administration. This time, the post is chairman of the FCC, which has been in censorship overdrive ever since Janet-Jackson-boob-gate, and the nominee is Julius Genachowski, CC ’85.
Genachowski not only overlapped with Obama’s two years at Columbia, but also was his Harvard law school classmate, working under Obama at the Harvard Law Review. He has already served as General Consul Counsel to the FCC in the mid 90s, but is in fact best known for his technology experience, including “spearheading Obama’s online campaign strategy, which used social networking and other tools to spread Obama’s campaign message and raise record campaign contributions.”
Bwog hopes he will at least stop the censors calling “fellatio a trouser-friendly kiss.”

@true genachowski was in a secret society at columbia. i wonder if obama was…
@... I doubt that… Obama transfered here after sophomore year and wasn’t very active on campus…
@Anonymous Bwog! Quick! Gawker’s unearthed some of Obama’s Spectator articles from years back! Go, go, go!
@hmm Columbia Sundial ≠Columbia Spectator. Also, most of this was printed in CCT two months ago:

@Anonymous I mean, crappy undergrad journalism is all pretty much the same.
@hmm K, well, be that as it may, they’re two different publications.
@hmm You have an ugly personality, anonymous internet person.
@hmm Said the sunny author of ‘crappy undergrad journalism is all pretty much the same’?
@hmm I think that’s just being honest. Friend.
@hmm As is the statement “they’re two different publications.” QED.
@hmm LAST WORD.
@hmm Incorrect.
@hmm Fallacy.
@As usual Columbia has to step in and clean up the mess Yale created.
@banker actually, he has to clean up Kevin Martin’s mess, the current FCC Chairman (unc/harvard law) who has been very anti-competitive and stifled competition in the telecommunications industry. he’s the reason you pay cable companies 2 grand a year for cable/internet
@brendan This is really good news.
@Don't forget With Billary hitting up the cabinet, caroline Kennedy, a columbia law alum, may be hitting up DC as well. Though not an obama appointment, she’s still a bystander of Barry’s election. Columbia Alums are taking over New York, the nation, and pretty soon…the WORLD!

@law student awesome choice. imagine an FCC chair who cares more about enhancing social connectivity than enforcing victorian values.
and bwog, it’s spelled general _counsel_. a consul is a diplomat.
