Indeed, and speaking of diplomacy, I am glad to see the state department
back in the hands of political and career diplomats, and no longer a tool
of the pentagram, er, pentagon.


The only thing I find disturbing about some of the rushed confirmations is
the willingness to overlook/ignore some character flaws or misdeeds in some
of the nominee's backgrounds because we are in such a critical "emergency"
situation economically and politically.

Didn't Obama state in his inauguration address that we will not sacrifice
principles in the execution of of policies?

This all sounds and feels disturbingly familiar.
