I am pleased that they are finally ditching that "Czar" thing. Man, "Drug Czar" was bad enough, but remember when they wanted to make a "War Czar"? That's some crazy shit.

I'll make a shamelessly bold prediction now: there is no way that the auto bailout passes the senate. If the Republican party blocks any aid to Detroit, not only is it politically popular, it might also make the economy worse, which would be great news for Republicans.

I went to high school with Carol Browner but have no memory of her. It was a big school, about 900 people in my graduating class.

At the 20th reunion, one of her friends took out a half page ad in the reunion book to congratulate her friend on her EPA job. All she would talk about during the reunion dinner was her friend Carol. I thought it was sad that 20 years on, that person's major achievement in life was that in high school she knew someone, who some day would have a high government job.

@scootersidecar: Holy crap! There weren't 900 people in my whole high school - and that was in Toronto, not some small village.

Hoho! Now Don Young's under scrutiny! Surprising noone in Alaska. Wow, It's a real change of the legislative guard underway up there. Keep digging folks, Yon Dung's got plenty of skeletons to find.

If the auto bailout really is going to be a loan (not that I like it) can we start calling it that? "Bailout" makes me stabby, along with many other things today.

What? Americans are giving rights to foreign brown people we suspect of wrongdoing? You mean we're respecting our constitution and basic human decency? Color me shocked!

I have tickets to a ball. The gown is at my local Korean tailor's getting hemmed. I have an apartment within walking distance from the Capitol lined up.

I AM READY, BITCHES!

@ManicPixiePoliticalGirl: Me too! I debated leaving town, but never really got that together. So I guess I am staying and walking around town, probably pushing tourists out of the way on my walks to Whole Foods or my job and whatnot. I am a native New Yorker, I cant help it.

@Gundam_Halo: I am so excited about this! My bf is working on his Physics Phd, and Chu went to our undergrad, so we are just so excited about this. It's inspirational to him to see scientists getting some love. It's sad how much of a shock this appointment was, I guess I get so used to oilmen and Sarah Palin touted as energy experts.

An apt comment from a Huffpo commenter:

"Well I think we need a little less SCIENCE in our energy policy and a little more JESUS. Jesus saves, and therefore Jesus saves energy! That's how we'll save energy. We should spend less time driving and more time praying and looking down on minorities."
