Cabinet of curiosities

Would John Kerry or Hillary Clinton make a better Secretary of State? I think Kerry is more qualified, I guess. Both of them deserve something for all the work they did to pave the way for Obama. We won't miss either of them in the Senate, since Massachusetts and New York are only gong to put up more Democratic candidates.

And what is this I hear about bailing out the auto industry? Um...no. When an industry ignores the public good for so long, as American cars have done with their disregard for mileage standards, it's their own fault if they get left in the dust. Notice Toyota is doing fine. Finance is a special case, but why is it the government's job to make sure GM stays afloat? I guess to save jobs, which I can support, but still. Am I and my paltry understanding of economics wrong about this?

Whatever, news. I'm going running.
