Special Announcement

So, what were we saying about the incestuous and inbred nature of this country’s power structure that has been at the very core of the mess in which we now reside?

I guess for me there are two interesting aspects of the story. The first is how thorny it's been for Treasury to bring in people to help fix the financial mess. They've had to grant waivers over various lobbying restrictions, and they've been at pains to find people with the expertise to fix the mess that we're in but who were not themselves part of the mess. That's a small applicant pool. Leaving aside the merits of the Cuomo investigation, it's likely to make that pool even smaller.

That from Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic on the resignation of the Car Czar, Steve Rattner.

So, in order to get as far outside that proverbial little box as humanly possible, Beers with Demo officially endorses Iowahawk as the new Car Czar.
