Any Ruth Ann “Burrowing” Abuse Stories Out There?
Bush is burrowing (giving political appointees permanent agency jobs) a ton of losers that it will take decades to get rid of. On the state level, I know of at least one state agency with a RAM appointee being converted to a senior civil service employee, but there must be more. So pour me a […]

A Sign that Obama Plans to Act on Healthcare Immediately
Although it’s not official sources are reporting that Obama has chosen Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Busy Bush
While we all debate Obama’s cabinet decisions and the Dems inaction action towards Lieberman, Bush has been a very busy bee. Given his dismal approval rating and the fact that, given a choice, the American people would have voted to end his term beginning November 5th instead of waiting until January, you’d think he’d spend his […]
Is it me…?
Note: Having just re-read this, I’d skip this post if I were you. If you like good blogging, read this Kavips post instead.
