Tax problems

I have to admit I am disgusted by Obama's [would-be] appointees who have tax or other illicit issues, and really wish that Geithner, in particular, had stepped aside. Surely he must have been mortified to be pilloried on SNL? In addition, hearing that the White House vetting process has practically come to standstill just makes me wonder why they didn't accept my offer to come help with the Transition? I have no doubt that the piles of resumes (including mine) vetted to do the vetting are in a pile somewhere while everyone else is pushing the Obamas as a brand (but not as dolls, that got canceled) . . .

DC Ethics

No Facebook!!

It is somewhat funny to read that Obama's new White House staff are being told they can't have personal email accounts on their classified computers - no Facebook!

Less amusing was hearing allegations that the Clinton staffers removed the Ws from their computers before leaving eight years. Hey, those are my tax dollars!

This is more amusing: "The Bush daughters showed Sasha and Malia Obama around [the White House]," [comedian Mark] Russell joked. "Barbara showed them where all the bedrooms were, and Jenna showed them how to make a fake ID."
