Lileks and the Cabinet
I love this from James Lileks:
Yay Condi Rice. I want her to go to Saudi Arabia, and I want her first words upon getting off the plane to be "I'll drive." As for the Department of Education, I'd like to see an experiment: let the position go unfilled for four years and see if it has any impact on the educational abilities of the nation's youth. I'm guessing no one would notice if we didn't have a Secretary of Education. Everyone just keep on doing what you're doing, and get back to us.
I would suggest the Department of Commerce for the same experiment.

Oddly, that was the first thing I thought when I heard the news yesterday. I know I've read something on MEMRI, translated from Arabic, that referred to her as the "Iron Lady".
