Bobby JindalCongratulations to Piyush “Bobby” Jindal (Republican) who was sworn in today as Governor of Louisiana, the nation’s first Indian-American governor!

Regardless of his political leanings, can I just say “WOW” about this guy?! Elected as governor at the ripe old age of 35. Sheesh. I feel like such a freakin’ underachiever now!

More trivia about Bobby Jindal from his website:

Bobby was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on June 10, 1971.

Bobby graduated from Baton Rouge High School at the age of 16. He later attended Brown University where he graduated with honors in both biology and public policy.

He then attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar, and received his graduate degree in 1994.

Prior to being elected governor, Bobby was first elected to Congress in 2004, and was re-elected to a second term in 2006.

Bobby’s gubernatorial campaign promised to clean up the corrupt image of the state and I wish him well in his efforts as governor.

According to Wikipedia:

According to family lore, Jindal adopted the name Bobby after watching The Brady Bunch television program at age four.
