It's "Game On" At Obama's Chicago Campaign HQ, If the Game You're Playing is "Whites-Only Dungeons & Dragons"

John Derbyshire just had the "Talk" with his kids.
He said they could work for Obama 2012.

Buzzfeed's very comfortable Obama's Campaign HQ.

As well they should be. They look just like Ben Smith's prep school's AV team.

“There is a very, very good feeling here,” David Axelrod, Obama’s senior advisor, told BuzzFeed.

Indeed! That feeling? The ineluctable frisson one gets from knowing that everyone around you watches Downton Abbey, or maybe even appeared as an extra in a fox-hunting scene on Downton Abbey, or actually was born and raised at Downton Abbey.

1. The liberal editorial staff at Buzzfeed, who at no point in this process wondered where the black and Hispanic staffers were

Thanks to Phil from TN and the cobloggers for the tip and for inspiration for the list. This is now the fourth one of these top tens I've done. Hard to keep coming up with white things.
