Of Liberal Academics and Conservative US Executives

The US news seems awash in articles decrying that most Academics are liberals. Jeff Jacoby in the Globe, The Washington Post, even The Economist (with a wonderful cartoon of an Elephant unable to squeeze though a university gate while a donkey struts through with no difficulty) all say "Horrors". No where have I seen articles saying there are too many conservative Republican business leaders. I suggest we take half the top US executives and half the liberal academics and have them switch places for the next year with the corresponding salary changes, of course.
