I consider Alan Grayson to be an intellectual stud!
This is from Wikipedia; I hope it is correct:

Grayson was born in the Bronx, New York. He graduated from Bronx High School of Science in 1975 and worked his way through Harvard College as a janitor and nightwatchman, graduating with an A.B. summa cum laude in economics in 1978.<2><3><4> He was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa and was in the top 1% of his class.<4> He returned to Harvard for graduate studies. In 1983, he earned a J.D. magna cum laude<5> from Harvard Law School and Masters of Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government.<3> Additionally, he completed the course work and passed the general exams for a Ph.D. in government.<2><6>
Grayson wrote his masters thesis on gerontology and in 1986, he helped found the non-profit Alliance for Aging Research (AAR) in Washington, D.C., and served as an officer of the organization for more than twenty years.<7>

10. +100 Born to rumble
Guys like him don't come along very often. He's the real deal. What little I've had for donations this year- that's where it's been going. What I'd give to have him as my Rep.
