To take this election to a truly and abysmally shallow place.
...Rahm Emanuel, Chief of Staff elect. You know, I can't honestly say I'd ever looked at a government official and thought, huh, but this is a huh.
Context: I mean, huh. I feel faintly dirty speaking thus of a politician. Yet a good dirty.
Kind of ashamed. Mostly not. My curiosity is pretty much focused on the following things:
1.) Treasury. Very curious. I mean, yes, presidential appointment is really honorable, but who the hell really wants that job right now?
ETA: For more on this,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sheila_cpa goes over the current potentials here for mulling.
2.) What will happen to Lieberman. I think Lieberman is probably wondering the same thing.
3.) So. Alaska? What's up with that?
You know, I remember when writing here was a lot more interesting. Sadly, work is not necessarily busy but rather short, intense periods of activity followed by waiting for activity. I am stumped. Also, my boss wants to take a vacation and keeps mentioning places that involve either a.) warfare and strangely high casualty rates b.) crazy animals or c.) no running water for a million miles. I--the guy's belt matches his shoes, okay? He isn't going to make it without a toilet. I'm just saying, there's adventure and then there's, you know, sanitation. He doesn't believe me. I find this hilarious.
Yes, that was riveting. I know.

From:2. Alaska is insane since they stay up where it gets really frigging cold for most of the year. What is up with that?
1. Not a clue, not a clue at all.

P.S. How is your muse doing?

From:If Lieberman has any sense of self-preservation, he'll start caucusing with the Republicans. His loyalty to the Dems thus far has been a little boggling -- they betrayed him badly in his Senate race and then the DNC put a bounty on his head once he agreed to speak at the GOP convention. He's the leper in the nudist colony as far as the Dems go; the GOP will at least treat him like the fun crazy uncle.

From:I think PK would be an good choice for treasury , but he says he doesn't have the temperament for politics. Maybe as an economic adviser instead?

I'd also like to see Gore be head of the EPA, sec. of energy, or sec. of the interior.
I'd love to see Hillary as a supreme court justice. :)

From:You guys got a band gazebo? Doesn't matter; we'll build one. Right in the band gazebo, that's where the President is going to drape his arm around the shoulder of some assistant D.A. we like. And you should have your camera with you, you should get a picture of that, 'cause that's gonna be the moment you're finished in Democratic politics. President Bartlet's a good man, he's got a good heart, he doesn't hold a grudge. That's what he pays me for.

I have no idea, but my opinion of them dropped again. How it is even possible to (maybe?) re-elect Ted Stevens. WHUT??
