Meritocracy

Sounds like a good idea -- those that do well get rewarded for their efforts. Not so much these days -- look at Obama's Peace Prize for six months of doing nothing. Now it's Mia Farrow and Woody Allen's Frank Sinatra's kid -- Ronan Farrow. From National Review:
Farrow, After Three Days on the Air, Receives Cronkite Award
His first television show has only been on the air for three days, but Ronan Farrow is already winning awards for his journalistic work. Reach the World, a global education group, will honor the 26-year-old Farrow with its annual Cronkite Award for Excellence in Exploration and Journalism.
A bit more:
Reporters attending the event have told not to ask Farrow any personal questions, including about controversy surrounding his family. Farrow, the son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, has weighed in on recent media frenzies, suggesting his father could �possibly� be Frank Sinatra and lending support to his sister�s accusations that Allen sexually abused her at a young age.
Those people are so far out of touch with reality. It will be fun to see what happens when their bubble bursts. I have to give the guy credit for this tweet:
