    Given the voting tendencies of most academics, I suppose that the "Revenge of the A student" may be equally frightful.

    Tim,

    I've heard comments such as, "I don't accept fundamental tenets of science
    and I vote" as "The Revenge of the D Student." Seen in that light, the
    comment is not funny, when our future is decided (humanly speaking) by an
    ignorant electorate.

    Chuck
